sorry that upsets you but it's relevant as the new SDKs support Komodo. If seeing Komodo on my instagram seriously makes you upset, let me know your instagram handle and I will force unfollow you.

hah. my apologies & I understand, Jarred. no need for that. i am really looking forward to komodo and a long time supporter of RED in general. i am using monstro on the majority of my work and push them along to all of my clients. i'm not upset in any way but i am really looking forward to know more about komodo.

cool... I must of misunderstood your displeasure , ill keep posting away then :)
 
Jarred, Any idea when preorders will start to open up?

Yep, I let that slip on FB a bit ago, just an under the radar project for the moment, but I have a real one in the flesh already.
PL to RF mount with a slot for the same existing revolva cartridges.

Not sure we'll do EF to RF the same as that job is covered reasonably by the very cheap and handy Canon EF-RF with vari ND. Its chintzy as hell, but cheap and works.

EF to RF would still be great, given how robust your mounts are.

Robust means integrated. Why everybody so against the idea if this is so much cheaper then interchangeable mount system you should not choose which mount you need?

What’s interesting is the film that I made since The Laundromat with Meryl that we just wrapped, I was using the new Red Komodo, which is the best of both. It’s extremely small, but it’s got a full-sized sensor. You can strip it down to absolutely nothing and it’s truly quite small and light. The lens is bigger and heavier than the body. Or you can very easily—if you need a little bit of mass because of the shot you’re doing, whether it be handheld or whatever—put some gak on it and give it a little more weight and turn it into that tool. We were the first people to get it. These bodies were hot off the bench. I was very, very pleased with what it allowed me to do. It was small enough for me to be able to put it anywhere I wanted very quickly but big enough to give me the aesthetics and the practicality that a “normal” camera would give me. It was pretty exciting.
Real camera with real needs, not this

Isn't the slightly smaller FoV (of this smaller sensor) a bit confusing when shooting? As it's not consistent with the A camera you would shoot and your lens choices have to be adapted to this?

S35 is S35. It can be cropped on set or in the house.

Can be for the post house , but not the shooter. It can be cropped on set or in the house.
 
Apologies if this has been covered already, but do we know if second hand Hydrogen one's will qualify for the Komodo discount?

Hi Rob,

While there's no official word on this yet, I trust that the original owner will be notified about qualification based on the orders placed prior to the cut-off date (some time late February or early March - not specified yet).
As much as it would be amazing for every Hydrogen holder at the time of the Komodo release to qualify for a discount, it would most likely have those with an Aluminium Hydrogen feel at a major disadvantage as opposed to those who preordered a Titanium and received a free Aluminium.
Then there's the added complication of tracking where those free devices ended up (ebay, etc).

Again, with the cut-off date in mind, everyone who has obtained a device past that date, however that was accomplished, probably disqualifies the device.

On the other hand, the more Komodos out there, the better, right?

For now, all we can do is peculate, while the RED team solves that riddle...
 
Hey Gregory, thanks for the summation. Like everyone here looking forward to final specs and pre-order info.

Let’s NOT go down the Hydrogen rabbit hole and have Jarred answer this, No offense but I don’t want to hear any other than Jarred on these matters.

That would be incredible! I really want to use the Komodo as my all around camera, it seems like it will be a perfect fit for me for my A-Cam, but i think it would also make a great companion to my EOS R for still images... I really dig the medium format form factor especially paired with the GDU side handle and a monitor laying flat over top of it... my dream! I really hope pre-orders go live in January (or sooner!)

Might as well toss in the ability to do long exposure photos, perhaps even longer then 30sec. Then also build an intervalomeater like the Sony a7r3 has (with ael low, Med, high). Make it good for photo, timelapse, and video. Now that’s asking a lot :)

Is there a dynamic range penalty in exchange for the nimble size?

No penalty for the size.. no penalty for the Global shutter either . it's a real RED camera , and hence image is #1. You can expect Komodo to fall in the vicinity of a Helium for dynamic range, in both Global Shutter mode and Rolling Shutter mode.
