RED Komodo Global Shutter(mode)

Yes, I think the variable ND and global shutter are related in this way. The real issue is how much dynamic range is reduced by global shutter mode. Could be quite significant.

I don't know who is building the sensor for the Komodo, but the Sony global shutter sensor in the F55 is pretty old, in tech terms, now and the 55 is no slouch, especially in what you can recover shooting in log and RAW or XOCN. So you would hope that over half a decade plus in sensor development advances across the industry would be coming into play. We've had 13+ stop sensors available for years, now and I've said that, everything else bing equal, If I had the choice between a 13 stop global shutter sensor and a 14 stop rolling shutter sensor, I'll take global shutter.
 
Another tease from today:

Would have preferred the 12v Sony ones, but the 7.2v Canon’s are perhaps more readily in circulation being that the C series uses them.

Curious what the logic was.


Someone else mentioned the CFast vs CFexpress thing too.

Interesting choices, but still very welcome.

I don't have a preference when it comes to batts, but about CFast vs CFExpress I wonder what advantages you'd see with faster media in the real world. With a design that small I'd think the challenge to performance would be thermal. It's already going to shoot 6k r3d at faster-than-standard speed and be smaller than 4"x4"x4"; would newer, faster media actually result in better performance in Komodo?

I'm betting it would increase the price of the hardware though...
 
It's just that CFexpress replaced CFast. Both are put out by the same standards body. One is current, one deprecated.

As someone will say, CFast cards will be around a while. But it just would have been nice for a new camera that has not yet come out to use the current standard, not the old one.

I have a feeling the churn in card standards is slowing down, and I think CFexpress will be around for a long time, a lot longer than CFast.

SD cards also will never die, but those are too slow for multi-K Redcode.

As a B-cam, it might be easier to work with 12v for cinema accessories. Rather than an additional or breakout system. Some of those Somy style 12v batts have p-taps built in.

But if 7.2v is good enough for Canon C... actually, i don’t care for Canon C either. Come to think of it, Canon batts, canon mounts..... getting some hardware from Canon? Maybe we’ll see better sensors in the C series?

You think this is RED’s attempt at a “C” camera...?

No. Pretty weird question, coming from you. the komodo and Canon C just share batteries. You know they are designed for different uses. Other than the fact that they are both video cameras.

Unless you meant A, B, “C” camera. In that case, i think Red has mentioned it isn’t designed as an A cam, but everyone is well aware of how the Alexa Mini went from special use to A cam.

Cameras really take on a life of their own once they get out in the wild though. We’ll see how things turn out.

It was kinda tongue-n-cheek... Playing off of it being not an "A" camera plus the Canon aspects of batteries and mount(even though Canon hasn't used the new mount on any C's, yet), and same cards.
