Please pardon my ignorance. A rather urgent opportunity has presented itself and I haven't done my homework on the SD. I've been focused on the SW and ED.
Where can I find information regarding the upgrade path of the Scarlet Dragon? I haven't bothered looking for the Epic and SW because, well, I didn't really see a need. And I haven't considered the SD until this silent partner came out of nowhere (trusted family member, just never knew their financial status. So it's not Stranger Danger.)
Also, would you consider the HFR (120fps) usable for commercial client work (say, regional name brands for rally racing and/or motosports (vs national name brands))? Reason I ask is because I've been considering the Sony a7Sii for the 1080P @ 120fps @ 100MB/s. Obviously the data rate is to blame for the 'soft' look the 120fps has. But I've read the SD tops out at 75MB/s. SD at 2K FF @ 120fps with 7:1 compression is coming in at 58MB/s according to the Recording Time tool on red.com.
Could somebody with knowledge and a teaching heart please fill me in?
I'm new to RED and have no idea. I've been filming for 4 years now, started my business 3 years ago. Talent and passion I have plenty of. Funds not so much. I'm confident my computer is good to go with r3d files. I just need some advice on the camera side.
Thank you for your help!
