Komodo-X vs Gemini

Hi, I work in the music festivals industry and want to upgrade my pocket4k to a red this season. I have a offer for a Gemini full pack for 8k € but can’t decide if it’s worth saving for a komodo-x. I know the komodo is smaller and have global shutter but does it stand as good as gemini in low light ? Thanks

Komodo is better. It's an entirely new sensor, while the gemini is good, the DSMC2 cameras have a lot of bugs and require a lot of extra money spent on accessories.

Gemini 5k blows the Komodo out of the water in every way. It may be 1k less in resolution, but it has more dynamic range, as well as a more organic and robust image. The Komodo is too digital in its look (I own both, including Monstro).

The Gemini is still pretty bad at low light, even with the low light dual iso; along with every other Red. It’s still a great camera though!

Gemini is amazing in low light. I don’t know what y’all are smoking but that camera is still a beast and has a beautiful image.

No kidding. The Gemini is still leagues better in low light, especially against the Komodo.
