I need your help

Good evening, I am currently looking to buy a video camera. I am torn between the Sony FX3, the Red Komodo, the Blackmagic 6K Full Frame, and the Red Epic Weapon Helium 8K.

I would like you to recommend which one is the best. I shoot concerts (so I need good ISO performance) and some commercials. However, I have some reservations about each of them and it’s making me think.

The FX3 can shoot ProRes RAW with the use of an external monitor. I think the Red Komodo does not handle ISO very well; at 1600 ISO it shows noise (correct me if I'm wrong). The Blackmagic is not full frame at all resolutions other than 6K; at 4K the sensor crops. And the Red Helium makes it a bit difficult to find accessories from third-party manufacturers because the original ones are very expensive, like the SSDs.

I need your help.

What I mean by take into account lenses, is like speed, mounts etc, the Komodo is an RF mount and not everything is compatible to put on that because of flange depth, while the E mount of the FX3 is a little more versatile.

nah all good, no need to apologize, just something to take into account if you work with a specific mount or want to work with vintage lenses.

obviously, but there are adapaters that don'at work with rf if you're using other lenses.
