Depending on your budget, and the nature of the job that you do, the vrry fact that you can be able to buy a camera, whether used or new, depending on the region where you come from, and tell your stories, regardless of the camera brand, is the most important thing to factor in...

[scoshgg]

I appreciate your straight forward points man. A lot of people are whining about the sudden price drop - because "RED doesn't mean anything" to them anymore. We always have to consider when buying a camera that suddenly, a new one could be coming out with better specs or that the current camera will devalue and if it upsets those people, they shouldn't have made the decision. But for creators like us (or me at least) it opens up new exciting possibilities. Gave you a sub, keep it real man!

Finally a non-salty guy who is buying a tool for his craft and not someone making an 'investment'. The returns should be expected from the work done by the camera and not the camera itself.

Your opinion is very valuable to many of us, and I agree 100% with it! Good share, man. Imma keep rocking and learning with my used Komodo and my 6KFF for the time being and see what the future brings. Cheers

[carlosq]

Good perspective and solid advice. Thanks for sharing!

The new price had me consider the Komodo X to replace my Blackmagic UMP G2 and Pocket 6K Pro. People mention about media cost and how much footage you actually get from a 1TB card but is it any worse than using CFast card recording BRAW in Blacmgiac cameras? Is the RED monitor a must have or can you get by using other monitors?

[jasonapearlman]

Small thing but I appreciate your mention of an emergency fund. The internet is full of advice about reallocating budget toward MORE STUFF but if something you wanted to buy just got cheaper, why not just pocket the difference? Great looking footage, btw!

Love the mindset about the 50% going down or buying used. I need to learn that. I have such bad buyer’s remorse sometimes.

[Will-wgrn]

"its not 30% less than of a camera" - very well said

[BillAshtonNelo]

It depends on how much money you make per project. If I made 60k so what about losing 3 grand. If you are not making money you should be renting anyway.

[scottievee]

Well, It's nice to see you are not having the expected reflex reaction of protecting your purchase that others in the space are doing. I appreciate the honesty. I thought about the KX. I waited. I'm invested in Canon. I ordered the C400. I hope I made the right choice. I think I did. We'll see.

[JayfkProductions]

Interesting, This for this Price or The Dji Ronin 4D 6k hmmm 🤔

[BrandonTalbot]

Love my KX:) It's been such an amazing camera.

[robertm]

It would suck for me since I am on the RF mount but it only makes sense for Nikon to move RED over to the Z mount.

[billmakesmovies]

I'm a weird person and I don't want one only because I want a RED Pro 5.0 sized screen from the DSMC2 line, and I think the new DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0 is too big. I have no idea if they're making a DSMC3 5.0 screen some day or not, but if they do, I'll totally pounce on a KOMODO X. I know I could go with a SmallHD touch, but, that seems like an incomplete solution to me. That old 5.0 screen was pretty good for what it was, back in the day when I got to play with the EPIC. Of course I'm most interested in an FX9II coming out more than anything right now. Price drop is pretty cool though!

[RossBarnett]

I've been doing a lot more corporate work this year and the Komodo/X price drops are so tempting. Probably won't do it though (because my current clients still won't care), but - it is tempting.

[itsaaronmiller]

I just made a video about why I invested in the Komodo-x (or a cinema camera in the first place)

You touched on a lot of my points. I could have gone Sony fx6 or any other camera but chose the KX because of the jobs I wanted to do. Not that it will necessarily get me more work, but it makes sense to own a system that will be in your workflow regardless.

Agree that you shouldn’t buy based off resale value, but it would sting a little bit if I just purchased it new and couldn’t get it for the new price. Would sting even more if I were trying to sell and immediately have to drop the price by a large margin. Haha but it’s part of owning tech I guess!

[Roman.the.explorer]

Crazy discounts! Being a C70 owner since it's out it's very tempting to try it out. Anybody here use it with the DJI lidar as a solo filmmaker? Wondering how you guys deal with the focus and ND filters?

[Ben_Stewart]

My Nikon Z6iii was quite expensive considering what the Z6ii was first priced at but the video specs are considerably better. No doubt Nikon will have a sale on it before Christmas.

[JulioBHJ]

I was just about to seriously consider selling my Komodo, now the prices dropped and I'm like "meh, guess I'll just keep it". 😄
