I’ll compare the two for myself, with available information, to see which one makes the most sense for high-quality commercials, features and shorts.īoth look good for this price point and market. With the yet to be launched Red Komodo, a 6K Super 35mm beast at a about $6,000 – Red, too, sees the need to drive down prices or perish. Red has never been in this space, until now. I wanted to compare two cameras from the ‘rebels’ who contributed to this massive price reduction.īlackmagic Design already has the solid URSA Mini Pro G2 ( Amazon, B&H) in their lineup, and their Pocket Cinema Cameras are massively popular as well. And I believe it’s going to get even cheaper. It’s become harder and harder to justify a $9,000+ priced camera, as the democratization of filmmaking drives down prices year after year. You could produce a solid documentary, commercial, corporate video or short film with half of what it used to cost just a few years ago.

Cameras have become a lot better over the last three years, and this means you can now own an amazing cinema camera for about $6,000.
