Here’s a tech facts comparison based on the data the two companies provide:

Performance: 0°-40°C (32°-104°F ), 85% (relative humidity)Operation: -5°-45°C (23°-113°F), 60% (relative humidity) |
The chart is missing some valuable info.
As far as the compression, it should mention the following:
RED: MJPEG2000
C300: AVCintra
Quantization:
RED: 10 bits
C300: 8 bits
also, that Scarlet will do up to 25 fps @ 4k (or is it QuadHD?) with no HDRx
C300 will output HD only
and the cost: Scarlet under 10K body, C300 over 20K body…
