My Ursa mini pro is currently being shipped so I am not too familiar with the recording options/camera interface so forgive me if this sounds silly but Im currently deciding whether or not to purchase the SSD recorder in order to have the option of shooting 4k Raw or just stick with fast SD cards and be happy with the ability to shoot 1080p raw.
Is there much of a difference between 4k RAW and 1080p RAW? Also, I don't understand how Lossless, 3:1 and 4:1 RAW recording options come into play regarding 2160p and 1080p recording options.
PS: There is a spectacular video on YouTube that use Rokinon lenses on an Ursa Mini (same as my set-up). I know that I can't link videos here but the video is called "A Day in the Highlands with URSA MINI" if you want to have a look at it. The video info says that it was shot in uncompressed raw. How much of a difference would 1080p RAW look to that? Especially considering that I (and 99% of people) will only be able to watch the video in 1080 and even if I did click the 4K option my screen would not be able to render 4k and even if it did render 4k it would need to be over 55 inches to see a difference.
So to sum up: why bother with 4k RAW over 1080 RAW?
