Okay, so there are probably a number of burning questions, like, what about XLR connections, etc?
But the subject of this thread is: what about 60fps in 1080P?
Really, I don't know how much I care about it because if I were actually making films, I don't know if I would ever actually employ slow motion in a film, myself. I love, love, love how gorgeous good quality slow motion looks, but, aesthetically and intellectually, I don't think I care for it much in narrative fiction film. However, I do know damn well that I would at least like the option of employing it.
So, why are the camera manufacturers so reluctant to give us 60fps in 1080P, as opposed to 720P?
Yes, I'm sure the stock answer, when talking about DSLRs, anyway, is that the audience for camera manufacturers consists largely of still photographers, and they don't give a rat's ass about frames per second etc.
Okay, no doubt a valid point.
Still, it must be clear to them (the manufacturers) that much of their audience consists of videographers who want 60fps in 1080P. So, is it a matter of being cost prohibitive, an engineering difficulty, or is it wanton indifference?
Am I reading it right that the GH3 willl offer 60fps in 1080P?
Well, if so, good on Panasonic, at least.
Or, am I just confused? You see 60fps and you see 60P mentioned. What's the difference?
Anyway.
