Why does everyone need to use 24p on the HVR-Z1? Isn't this frame rate used primarily for transfer to film? Is everyone getting these things for transfer to 35mm. for theatrical release? Also, don't you need special monitors to review video shot at 24p, or can the camera play it back as 60i through some kind of emulation? I ask because I am planning to shoot a video documentary about dolphins and would like to do it in the HD format, if possible. I grew up shooting film, so video is still somewhat new to me. Any answers would be deeply appreciated. :blink:
