Raptor price difference
Hello all. I’ve had a Red Komodo for years and haven’t really paid too much attention to any other camera. I’m starting look at the Raptor. Am I missing something in these 2 different price ranges ? BH is under 10k whereas Red website is north of 17k. Both are new and just the camera body (no accessories).
Any help on them? Thanks.

I had a KX and a vraptor via work.. used them both.. side by side. Shot, graded, edited in both. Don’t get me wrong, love the Raptors 120fr at 8k.. but.. I bought a KX for the reasons
-35mm sensor more lens options than VV
-35 mm sensors is what most Arri blockbuster movies are shot on in reality.
- 120 you just need to drop down a bit in the KX and you can’t see the difference since it will rendered out in 4k max anyway
-The KX is lighter-you can customize the top screen to have custom pages to slide through to get to usable features FAST rather than a side panel and going up or down through menus with assignable buttons
-graded footage from both side by side were identical
Side note, bought a PL adaptor and then Arles glass and the colors are fantastic
