Don't understand why Jim doesn't hand one of these units to someone who knows what they are doing and create interesting visuals. Jim is not in charge any more. It's Jarred. I am sure there will be better footage coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I’m actually on the email list for the Komodo and should have another correspondence from Jarred next week for the Yellow Komodos. I’m not really excited about it anymore. I’m still very interested in the GFX100 and would rather get that. Still I’m holding off because I think Fuji will release a more “cinema cam” version of the GFX100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted June 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2020 I must say the design is damn sexy. A bit different to the usual C200 type isn't it?! Alt Shoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbro Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Around 12:30 he shows a few quick clips, looks better than others I've seen posted for Komodo so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I ended up tuning in for a lot of the stream and leaving it on in the background while I was hanging out. Some of the most interesting things to me: -monochrome sensor Komodo coming after color version is out -Raw is supposedly a different compression than current DSMC2 Red’s (DCT vs JPEG2000?) -Sensor is true global shutter. Previously Jarred said it was a “mode” which confused me a bit. Apparently they originally planned to have a RS and GS mode, but got the DR high enough in the GS mode to where there was no need to keep the RS mode. -Komodo started out as something that could replace GoPros in big films for action sequences but ended up being more powerful than initially expected -has motion sensor(s) that aren’t enabled yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranciscoB Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 What a shitshow of a promotion for this camera. What happened to specs, good footage and NON 6 HOURS videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Q&A Jarred said they haven't published specs because things are in flux and still changing every day. The models out in the wild are basically beta in terms of firmware, but I believe the hardware is nailed down. Someone posted frame rates and resolution on the Facebook group as well as some R3D files and a global shutter test of a spinning fan. Interestingly, Jarred also said they felt like they had to move up the Komodo launch earlier than they wanted because of what happened with the Hydrogen. So, yeah, I guess they're kind of making it up as they go somewhat, but based on the promising DR chart I saw posted I'm really curious to see how it stacks up against other cameras out there.

So far the custom colors for early adopters are holding to the $7k. And I really curious to see what a monochrome version would be priced at. There aren’t really any reasonably priced monochrome cameras out there since it’s such a niche market (especially for video). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Do the people buying the custom colors even know what the specs are? Does an NDA notice appear on the packaging and apply as soon as the tape is broken? Like WTH? It’s a little weird. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweak Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Specs sound fairly underwhelming, only thing I'd be excited about is redcode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many global shutter 6K Super 35mm sensors with PDAF out there from Sony that I know of! The Canon tie-in is obvious. I think this is part of an agreement with Canon doing RAW internal without violating RED patent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt3rs Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 If the image quality DR and AF is good it seems like a cool camera for the price. Wish it had CFexpress instead of CFast Patrick B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
