KOMODO-X overview

The RED KOMODO-X is a 19.9 MP Super 35 cinema camera for Canon RF, announced by RED in May 2023.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits video. It is a weaker pick for slow handheld shots with unstabilised lenses, paid jobs that need a backup card and eye-level shooting in bright sun.

New, it sells for $6,995 in the United States (Focus Camera). It launched at $9,995 (body only).

Worth comparing it with the Canon EOS C400, Sony FX6 and Canon EOS C500 Mark II.

Low light & noise

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
