What are your thoughts on the FX30 ProRes RAW vs the Komodo R3D RAW? I was kind of dissapointed that the FX30 has no extra recoverable DR compared to Log and no way to change WB in ProRes RAW.

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

Yeah. R3D is also 16 bit vs PRR is 12 bit. The Fx30’s raw also comes with a 4.7k windowing of the 6k sensor and introduces a fair amount of noise (the fx30 has good built in noise reduction). I personally won’t be using the external raw options on the fx30 much and almost exclusively shoot in R3D on my Komodo. It’s nice to have on the fx30 but i don’t think it creates a ton of advantages.

@Daniverse96 6 ай бұрын

With new versions of davinci resolve and using x intra on sony, you can modify wb and ISO as if it was RED Raw 👌

@esmpmedia8586 7 ай бұрын

I am currently owning the Canon R7 and the OG Red Komodo, I am tempting to sell them both and get the R3 instead! Tempting to go with Sony but just not convinced with the color and the fact that they pump new camera every year (or almost!)

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

Yeah. Sony is quick to release new cameras on their consumer level but the their “pro” video cameras like the fx3 and fx6 have been out for a few years and don’t look like they are going anywhere. But it also sounds like you have a pretty good set up already! 🙂

@rk_bullet 7 ай бұрын

Sony is/was the most cursed camera for it's colour science, but to my eyes fx30 has far far better colour science than RED. Red looks like smartphones' videos with extra sharpness and contrast. Sony is looking organic like film rather than digital.

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

Sony’s color science has improved significantly but to say that red’s is like a smartphone is just silly 😂 Everyone has their own preferences but red is definitely my favorite color science

16 bit raw vs 10 bit… you can match them if you expose everything correctly on set. Otherwise they are not even close

@03chrisv 7 ай бұрын

Most people can't tell the difference between 10 bit and higher. Unless you're filming for a movie theater release or intend on releasing a 4k bluray of your film then the end result between the Sony and Red will be very similar as compression from KZfaq or other streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, etc tend to zap out the quality and dynamic range right out of your video. I find it funny when KZfaq content creators invest in expensive Red or Blackmagic gear when far cheaper cameras would get the job done.

You’re definitely right. The red footage is so much more flexible!

@GlobalShutterNY 7 ай бұрын

I think the FX 30 can hold its’ own against the Red in terms of dynamic range - the global shutter is great on the Red for those who need it, but global shutters do decrease dynamic range for current sensor technology …

Dci and xavc-s are not pro res equivalents. Yes with the new davinci update and some transcoding in catalyst you can get a psuedo raw file but yea that's still not pro res

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

XAVCS-I is a 422 10 bit intra-frame codec the same as pro res is. Pro res is different from pro res raw :)

The only time I felt the necessity of 4k when I saw the 'Secret life of Walter Mitty' skate boarding scene on 55' tv. For new filmmakers Fx30 is the gift from God. Cause they are not going to film outdoor High resolution drone shots or high budget action sequences.

Not agreeing with you on the Pro Res internal comment about each camera. What is imposter syndrome or any other syndrome that you mention?

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

Well the Komodo shoots pro res internally and the fx30 shoots XAVCS-I which is an intra-frame 10 bit 422 codec (exactly what pro res is). So they both shoot a pro res equivalent codec internally :)

@GlobalShutterNY 7 ай бұрын

The biggest weakness of the Sony codec is that internally they are 10bit - a bit less flexible in post- using an external recorder you can get 12 bit out of the FX 30.

@contentm3893 7 ай бұрын

@@RileyEndicott Well you don't lower the codec used in the Fx3 to compare the two cameras. Internally the Komodo records red raw and the FX3 doesn't come close to that internally.

@@RileyEndicott I get your point but no need to knock down what one camera can do to make the other look the same.

@RileyEndicott 7 ай бұрын

I’m not knocking one down. I’m pointing out that they both share a useful feature. ProRes is one of the few codecs that doesn’t require transcoding for broadcast work. It means the Komodo can get used on a lot of productions that don’t have the post budget to deal with R3D raw. Both cameras can fit into those work flows. It’s a good similarity for them both to have :)
