Fx6 VS Komodo

Today I would like to compare FX6 with the Komodo and explain why Fx6 is just better.

• Better low light.

• Higher FPS at full sensor (120 @ UHD FF / Komodo's ~40FPS @ 6k S35.)

• Eye detection AF is actually amazing, and works seriously good even at high frame rates.

• Built in gradual variable ND is great.

• Ease of use is far better, includes far better IO options (SDI, HDMI, TC, XLR).

• Battery time isn't terrible. ~120 minutes using the standard batteries but if you use V-mount / Golds then you can expect close to 6hrs on a single 135Wh battery.

• Optional ProRes Raw over the 12G SDI to an Atomos.

• Your computer will still like you more using XAVC-I. Consider that DCI 4k @ 24fps is 240Mb/s XAVC-I vs 6k 17:9 280Mb/s R3DHQ, visually I haven't noticed a difference.

• Komodo quite frankly is just annoying to use. Screen is terrible, need the SmallHD Indie 7 just to use the camera.

• Noise is still an issue even at """base""" ISO which realistically is actually 500 and not the 800 as advertised.

• IO is pretty bad. Single power, single SDI, single accessory which is all Lemo so you'll need break out boxes primarily.

• Since the Komodo has 12G SDI, its extremely prone to frying versus the FX6. Loads of people still have the SDI board failures, which isn't a firmware fix, its hardware.

• Likely more ideal for studio use and anything you can control. Small sure, but more cumbersome to use once you start adding accessories or anything.
