DId you get it right?! I’m looking at how robust they are and how far we can push the image without introducing artifacts or noise rather than the sharpness and color science of each camera:) Hope you enjoyed it😊

Fuck I thought C would be The Komodo because that felt the most gorgeous consistently to my eyes!!! Surprised to see it's the 6kFF!! That definitely has some secret sauce in it

The truth is your average viewers won't notice a drastic difference between cameras nowadays. It's all about lighting, lens choice, and color grading. I once shot 2 student thesis film with a Panasonic S1h 10-bit, while my other peers shot with REDs and Alexas. No one was able to tell the difference between the short films that were shot on a cinema camera and the one that was shot on a prosumer camera.

I have a lot of respect for all these cameras, but this is why I enjoy using the FX3 the most; it gets you 90% of the way there in terms of image, but with half the effort.

BMCC 6K is a monster for $2,500!!!

Bro the black magic looks so fucking good ngl

Took one lesson home from this video “I bought the Red Komodo because I WANTED it, and not because I NEEDED it”. Following your channel had made me to know that’s you can create magic with the gear you own and don’t need a more fancier or expensive camera.

Fantastically made!! This is the best video I've found for telling the difference. Boring shots aren't useful, since any camera can make a shot look boring. These shots are great for comparison because they're well shot/edited. I've compared raw photos on my R6 to the 10bit video and once other variables are controlled for (eg. well made preset to standardise colours and tones) there is not much difference surprisingly.

to me B looked the best, then C, then A. after knowing which is which, and reading comments, i get why many prefer C. the highlights are much smoother. Red also does well with highlights and maybe even clips them. but i still prefer B, and im not a sony user. i liked the sharpness and overall pop. good video.

The difference is apparent when you try to push the footage further and further.

Some of these shots are your best yet, in my opinion. I consistently chose camera C, once or twice B, and I think one time for camera A. So BMPCC for me I guess. Thanks for this video!

The image for the blackmagic is amazing ¡¡

Your outro , with the cool, jazz song was just as awesome as the comparison!

*I actually got it spot on , not from a difference in colours but in dynamic range and field of view.* The three shots starting at 00:21 were the giveaway. Cam A and C retained details in the highlights out the window while B was blown out. So I knew B was the Sony camera being 10 bit (but remember that’s the codec not the sensor as it can output much higher RAW out via HDMI). B also had a wider FOV than the first so again I knew it was likely the FX3 which is full frame vs the Komodo S35, so another clue. To me C had less of a field of view and slightly less detail than A so I imagined that was the Blackmagic cam. That was a fun experiment. Thanks for posting. 👍🏿👍🏾

Whoa the Blackmagic is KILLING IT

I knew right from the start that the camera C was Blackmagic. But I made a bad assumption about Red and Sony. Sony and BM6k I liked the most. Good job!

I had a project recently where i changed the color of the lights from deep blue to green and it worked perfectly on that 16bit footage. One slider, My mind was blown. The client loved it, it was awesome to have that opportunity to get creative in post.

Love the look and color on C. Definitely had something special going on. Softens up the edges in all the right ways. Hard to tell how much the lenses are playing a roll though. The lenses on the 6k and Komodo definitely have a lot more character (aberration) and have a shallower depth of field compared to the FX3. All look stunning to be honest, and the FX3 has so many addition benefits it's hard to pass up.

As a Komodo owner, I think what I learned much too late is that REDRAW is an amazing codec if you’re planning to heavily process your image. The sheer depth of information within the files is impressive. I’ve recovered some insanely blown highlights. That said, if you’re shooting everything like an experienced DP would, you will rarely need to access that information in most instances. If I could go back, I might’ve just gone with an FX3/FX6, but I’m not upset about my purchase. I’ve rented my Komodo kit out for $4000 before, so it’s paid for itself at this point.

Hah i recognized RED as more "reach" and sony as yellowish skintone (i didn't know what cameras were in test). Great job. You're have the tallent!! Love the vibe of your shots. Can't wait for feature film with you as DOP.

Man that's some wonderful cinematography!!! Camera B seems to grab my attention, then Camera C. But all three look AMAZING! B is BMCC6K, C is FX3 and A is RED

Beautifully done! You got my respect

I was gonna say that Camera A was the FX3 because it isn't as sharp as the other cameras! I was surprised because footage from the Komodo tends to have an amazing level of detail. I'm guessing that has more to do with the lens than the sensor. But you did a great job of matching them up. Footage looks amazing. For me, what sets the Komodo apart is the natural level of image detail but also the global shutter. Even the FX3's fast sensor readout can't compete with a rock-solid moving image. It brings me back to shooting on film!

Fantastic comparison. Thanks for doing this. They all look amazing in their own way. Camera A fooled me. I guessed Sony because the highlights were brighter and the cream handrail color leaned more towards white. Sonys capture so much light. They all still great.

Awesome video. Thank You! How did the BM stand up against the FX3? And have you filmed with the FX3 on the Atomos Ninja V to get better quality files?

Thanks for the bit rate comparison. Honestly, watched the whole thing because the cinema was intense. Great stuff. Who else geeking out about the image (*noise this and that, color looks better on this, sensor difference on this cam and that ) before the results displayed. LOL.

Thank you so much for the detailed illustration!!

Excellent comparison!! Thank you!

Nice vid, thanks for making it and sharing :) You're right in that if your image is set on set, then any modern camera these days will be fine. I find however, that the best test of colour is white balance and saturation adjustments. I picked the Sony straight away based on saturation of lower midtones. That is where the Sony will fall massively...especially when underexposed. BRAW on the other hand, keeps colour rich and full, with flawless WB corrections in post. I rely on that a lot, especially when I'm using LUTs that respond well when changing WB and exposure settings in raw.

I saw that you have the Atlus Orion and the Blazar Remus lenses, how do you feel they compare? I'm looking into the Remus and would love your thoughts!

OMG! Congrats on your new body extension HAHAHA; (camera), can't wait to see more of what you want to share with us :)

I early guessed which one was the FX3. I own a BMPCC6K and owned a Red before. But I inverted BMP6K and Komodo ! Thanks for this relevant comparison.

I have to pause right here and thank you...this was an incredible job!!! Thank you veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much! = )~

Ohhh . That's why I love camera A&C. The color saturation on A and the highlights on C, or maybe because they have different lenses.

On KZfaq, a lot gets hidden as well. Use case and viewing environment will have a big impact on things, so will mastering format/resolution. Even in situations where the difference is easier to see while viewing it at full-resolution on a nice computer monitor... if you master at 2K/1080p, or if you like adding grain to your images or other post/dirty fx, the differences disappear even more... entirely in most cases. Ultimately that bit-depth difference does stick out in the right situations, so when someone says "there's something about it" on the RED end, I think they're noticing smaller differences in color, but mostly a better/smoother tonality in things, skin, skies, falloff, etc. but again, if you're someone who is intentionally downsampling, adding grain/noise/grit, etc. then you help hide issues or introduce additional dithering to the image. It all just depends. Good/bad are the wrong words really. Use case and what you need or like should take priority. I tried the C70 and A7sIII and the cams had so many benefits but in the end I found their internal recording, even RAW on the C70, to be pretty muddy/blotchy feeling and too low of a bitrate. In some context this would be fine but it bugged me more than I thought it would. All of these cameras are amazing though and I'm so glad we have something we didn't really have years ago... OPTIONS. :)

A looks the best to me when it comes to dynamic range, I 'll take that one thank You

That Atlas Lens! mmmmmm Love it! I love my Komodo and I use my pictor lenses. One of these Orions would be amazing! Keep making magic bro!

amazing... hope you release the lighting breakdown soon.. what brand lens you are using on fx3?

I love watching your videos..I learn a lot from them🙌🏽🔥

I'm a Sony guy (I have a ZV-E1 aka mini fx3) but damn that BMCC 6k FF is a beast! that highlight rolloff makes such a big difference in my eyes :o

This was a fun challenge for testing the eyes! My guesses were right, but they all do a phenomenal job! The slight blue streak 1:18 gave away the Komodo for me, they tend to give off that distinct flare with anamorphic lenses. The sony has the most Flat matte like finish, which is great for skin tones & naturally looks a lil warmer then the others. It also seemed to retain a little more detail in the darker shots. The bmcc always has the most rich clinically crisp imagery, especially with color for me, but it was a hard distinction between it & the Komodo for many shots. GREAT STUFF! By far one of the best camera test I've seen, especially with true cinematic style lighting and camera set-ups!

I liked A and C the best, but B surprised me on one of the shots with the detail in the hair. Wild.

You’re absolutely correct. The industry utilizes 16-bit mainly for post processing

当たりました。 でもそれよりも何よりも映像が素敵すきます！

What are your thoughts about the Canon C500 mk2? Or the C70?

Nice work - best so far in terms of cinematography & Look, clear the killer insperation. Can you tell us a bit about post. Did you use a Lut, some plugins (Scatter/Filmbox, etc) or dctls? Keep going!! OH, i prefer BMCC6k - it looks most organic to me. surprisingly

Camera c was my pick of the bunch & watching this after the new blackmagic pyxis announcement just confirmed it for me

thank you for this great comparision!!!!

The only big difference you'll see in the color correction session is how far you can push the limits of the picture without destroying it.

One thing here that's not being addressed, Red's codec captures at 16 bit linear, but must be converted to 12 bit log to edit. Blackmagic raw also has the same bucket. 16 bit linear on capture and 12 bit log in debayer.

The main difference can only be noticed in outdoor where the background is blasting light andyou still be able to see the character, also the gradients of color is vast in outdoor locations .

Amazing video and cinematography. They are definitely hard to tell apart after KZfaq compression but surely on your computer you will see the difference of the fx3 vs the other two, right?

Good test! I own the BM6K Super 35, and I love it. I can't imagine the FF. I might try to get that as my next camera.

wait I actually got it right LMAO I knew the sharpest one would be the FX3, I'm so familiar with this sensor's look because I shoot with an a7S III which is essentially the same sensor but sharpest isn't necessarily best. I really loved the look of all three. beautifully lit and composed scenes!!

Great video. The C camera has a most rich colors in the skin tone. Can you speak about the remus lenses vs the Altas?, please 🙏

Awesome!

terrific video! I've been looking at a direct comparison between the Blackmagic 6k (in lieu of the coming Pyxis) and komodo. Glad to see they are close. The problem for me with the Blackmagic is the form factor and the lack of SDI. Do you see much difference between the RAW files?

It's crazy to think that the cost of the BM6K body plus lens is about $3600 while the RED is $24,000. From what I can see in the video, the Orion lens on the RED is about $10K (great lens). The Blazar Remus on the BM6k is about $1k and the Sirui in the Sony is about $1200.

Yes, i can tell the difference. Yes, you can get pretty close to the look of something like a BM or RED or even Arri and for most productions the better image quality isn't worth losing all the convenience features like auto focus, small form factor, etc. Especially if you're a one man band... But I personally would pick a Blackmagic over a Sony anytime I can. The difference in image quality shows especially in uncontrolled lighting conditions. My BM tends to get me to the desired look 80% of the time and Sony footage often needs a lot more attention and tweeking, especially in the skin tones. But great comparison!! I confused the Sony footage with the RED at first.

I knew the Komodo right away. But the other two, no, but that was because I kept looking at the Komodo.

Great video, what lenses were used on the black magic, they look great.

pls what lens did they use in each camera, cos it gifts another character to it.., there are different chromatic aberration and etc..

Love this!

Blackmagic looked the best most of the scenes.

Holy smokes, your cinematography is amazing! If your based in Toronto, I'll definitely hire you as a DP! Keep posting your content your amazing at what you do, you're very talented!

Nice test. The only problem is that the use of different lenses makes it hard to compare the results. The footage is awesome and well shot, but the the 2 flavours of CA in cameras A and, especially, C, make it very hard to have an unbiased opinion. Also, it's possible that the lens also have different sharpness (that can be noticed on the actress' skin), render colours and produce flares in different colours, so, as good as the color grading is, it's possible to see some differences between the lenses that make it harder to evaluate the different formats. The video is looking amazing and the idea is amazing. If you could do something similar using the same lens, it would be perfect. I get that your point is to show how you can push all 3 images to match them before they break, I'm just saying I got curious to see something similar shot in equal conditions. Congratulations for the great video!

Lmao, I love these videos. "can you tell the difference between these different cameras, even though they are all shooting raw, and I'm using A RADICALLY DIFFERENT LENS ON EACH ONE????"

The FX3 turned out to be 80% of my choices, it looks a little better than both and more detailed despite being the only one that records in 4k, I am surprised by the treatment of Sony's sensors and their ability to take advantage of the entire image, I am surprised how a 4k camera looks more detailed than two 6k cameras.

A>C>Bだったな 現実的に買えそうなのはBMCC6KFFだね ダビンチもついてるし 良い比較動画ありがたい

wow i love B so much. not too sharp and stiff like c and not too blurry like a.

The FX3 looked the most digital and less filmic out of the 3.

black magic's color science has gotten really good

First of all - I loved your filming. So cool.😊 Second, I had no idea what was what, but I was really satisfied when camera B turned out to be a FX3, since that was the picture I liked the most😊

Fantastic test, thanks for the effort.

When adjuting the white balance of the fx3 in resolve, it looks like you're using a shortcut with the trackpad or mouse?? Is this the case? I tried to implement this but never managed to do it.... great video anyway!!

thats a nice looking rig!

좋은 영상 감사합니다. 계조는 a>c>b 순서로 좋아보였는데 반대로 색수차는 b가 깔끔하고 a가 제일 심해서 조금 의아했었네요.

The XH2s’ 14bit Flog2 would be an awesome gap filler between the BM and Red, if you ever get your hands on one in the future :)

i couldnt guess which was which honestly but liked A consistenly more than the others. And it was the Komodo... but then again, theres always the difference in sensor size which kinda gives it away, but noticed that on later shots.

Was very easy to tell from first few shots. I wished 1 and 3 was swapped but it is what it is )) Looking really good! Sony … well, of course is closest to cellphone-ish feeling.

Superb video! Great comparison on 3 good cameras. It would be awesome if you could upload a video of the compression in ProRes or a similar codec.Or maybe some HQ still frames. ❤❤❤

Saw you uploading, immediately clicked!

I mostly picked camera C and a few times cam B. I've been a fan of Blackmagic for years. They're innovative and "affordable" and have the best color science neck and neck with Arri imo and that's the most important aspect when I choose a camera. I have an Ursa which I love and might have to add the 6K to the arsenal. 😍

very good video, what computer do you use to process all the videos, thank you👍

A felt the most cinematic consistently to me

How wow. I wasn't trying to guess which was which, just which I liked most based on image quality (Dynamic range, Sharpness on in focus objects, Highlight fringing, etc.) My rating was: FX3 > BMCC 6K FF > Red Komodo. This is a perfect way to demonstrate how most of the difference comes from how you set up the shot and lighting, not from the camera that you use.

As a Komodo x owner, I can happly to say that the BM6k looks on par.

This was shot on different lenses as well right? It's pretty hard to compare the cameras, as the lens will influence the look just as much. Also you are a master of lighting and composition and as long as the image falls perfectly into the capabilities of the cameras, every modern camera will do just fine. Maybe do a follow up video where you test how much info is retained in the shadows, how noise behaves and how the images react to major whitebalance shifts or creating a totally different look.

I knew immediately B was the Sony, just didn't look right. I'm REALLY shocked how close C and A were. Sometimes I thought C was the Komodo. Great video.

The only reason why you need these is to be able to push your picture in post especially change white balance, but the footage is going to be very similar in itself

loved that film, it was "the killer" right ? you did a great job doing this . loved the test.

My favourite was definitely camera A, with B in second place and C in third.

i love C camera (BMCC 6K) Incredible colors.

Neat video, great job! The biggest thing for me was the CMOS streaking on Camera C at the 0:47 second mark. Otherwise, all cameras perform admirably.

You cant tell based on colors etc. It is a slight give away when it comes to sensor size (you can tell ff sensor look)

There really isn’t a bad camera today as we all know. If you know your lighting framing and coloring. You can get insane images from all of these. That being said, red is still the clear winner. The quality of the red has “that look” many are going for. Plus red raw. What I can do after the fact with red raw is straight up mind bending. I’ll tell you what though the lumix s5xii is another monster I also use. That camera is unbelievable. Minus the jelly…. slow pans only

Thank you for really nice comparation video! I did pick up Slog3, but the different was not clear enough between Red and BM. Sony color science is towards to red and you can pick that one up quite easily. BM was my favorite. For a moment I wondered that is that actually Arri? It looked just so good.

I watch and learn from your vedios... ❤

Thanks for this. I was successful in ID'ing my camera, the FX3 which is sharp, sometimes too sharp. But that's what grading is made for. I want to start with the strongest image to manipulate to the desired look.

This makes a point I've been holding in contention for a while now: Unless footage is put side by side, and NOBODY WATCHES A MOVIE THIS WAY, no one in the movie audience is going to see a difference, or CARE. They won't know what the 16 bit footage would have looked like compared to the 10 bit footage they are watching. They just know this is a great story (if well written and there's good acting) and the shots absorb them into the film, if well lit and edited. No one will know or be able to tell if you tightened the screws with a $7 screwdriver or a $21 screwdriver.
