Exactly. There is no alternative

Right!!! Like these are just fucking ads at this point. Forget the camera talk about lighting, work, and getting clients or the current market

I can tell you don’t own a RED lmao

@@lizlana4200 assumptions get you nowhere. Proud owner of a Komodo X and previously a RED scarlet w.

@@earnieboy54 Ahahahahahaha 😂

@@lizlana4200 yeah, it was a pretty fun upgrade. I laughed too because it cost less and packed more features but it was 2017 vs 2023 so technology amirite?

@@earnieboy54 The global shutter is what does it, I was going to invest in the a9iii and glad I didn’t because of the reduction in quality. Don’t think I’m gonna wait for the eos r1. That wagon is too late. If the Komodo X would reduce to 7999 it would be great

How hard is it to utilize gyroflow

@@micahaka Not hard.

Super easy with the online tutorials. ​@@micahaka

Depends on what you’re shooting. Say for shooting fight/action scenes, global shutter reigns supreme

go for the canon

@@annabelj427The R5C is great. Yes, you need to add some form of external power, but it’s a great camera all around.

What do you mean the camera? It has always worked with out the app. The app is a bonus not a necessity.

.. what alternative in this price segment ?

You can sell rf lenses and get z lenses in case you need to get a body upgrade ? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Second hand vs second hand.

@@d_FLDE I understand you but no info on any upgrade path, well Jared said that It was always an exeption. I can only think that Nikon will use its production capacity t o make the next Red / Nikon Cine cameraS to get the price lowered compared to Red at this point due to volume. So I don't see them supporting current line up of cameras to be honest, and it would make sense. And trust my I would love a K-X right now.

@@Horizons_Roses basic setup is 15 k without lenses. You need roughly 30-40 shooting days to get the invest back. That should be in less than half a year or not worth the investment. Local rental prices with full basic rig is 450 where I am, even higher at other places, specially the US. And what are you talking about. They updated the raptor sensors to global shutter - do you think they will want to go backwards to build black magic cameras with a lower quality? You want better low light in the Komodo with Sony sensors? It is far beyond all the Sony sensors out on the market that Nikon is using. They do have red sensors and do not use Sony sensors as Nikon does. 16 stops of dr and no native iso - that is what makes red red. You can shift the dr - the true magic for me of a red. Hence why red acquired it - not because they can sell Sony sensors :) Most people I know do not care about the rf mount or z mount anyhow, they want pl lenses. Or you would buy a Sony rather. By your logic you assume they will want to lose all current red shooters to get a whole different line up of clients. That would be wild by all the current new cameras popping up. I rather want to see a Nikon with a red sensor. That would be amazing. To round it up. Invest only if you have the jobs. Rent otherwise. Nobody in our line of work is bulletproof proof anyhow. Ai will kill 50% of all the jobs in the next couple years. So you need to adapt anyhow. Short term return only. I am lucky enough that I had an amazing year. My x was in after 40 days due to the year of my life. And now that I have it, people want to rent it 🥳.

@@d_FLDE Great for your return of investment, but I'm in europe, France, and not everyjobs rent a 450$ for a camera a day, hence why sony is everywhere here from small jobs to higher ends, and FX6/FX3 are dominating. Something to keep in mind, as for Nikon / RED, OBVIOUSLY they will keep their High End, but did you hear the different interviews Nikon made ? Did you checked what a Z9 can do for 6K$ while being a stills camera ? They want to tagert both high end cine and "creator like" clients. So yeah I can only imagine them having a 6K$ video focused ZF Mount man, that just make sense, and obviously they will keep a high end line. Again, makes sense.

@@Horizons_Roses .. if you need a red the budget is there. I lived in paris for 15 years until recently. I had higher rental costs and the clients never argued. I can not say the same about Germany. Most jobs simply do not require a camera like the Komodo. Get the camera you need, not the one you think would be fancy.
