RED Komodo 6K has a
19.9MP Super 35 (27.03 x 14.26 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sony A580 has a
16.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz processor.
Below you can see the Komodo 6K and A580 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of RED Komodo 6K and Sony A580 Cameras
RED Komodo 6K and Sony A580 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
RED Komodo 6K
or the
Sony A580 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Super 35 versus APS-C),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
