I hope I´m not too late, but it just seems to me, Thomas, that you don´t understand what the shutter speed is. It has nothing to do whatsoever with the compression; it doesn't affect your GOP's or any of that. All it is is how long (in fractions of a second) the camera opens THE SHUTTER so light can come in. Just reinforcing what Matt said, it may "look" to you like the resolution is getting better only cuz you're capturing a more frozen image as you go up in your shutter speed. Basically if you shoot a football in mid air with a very low shutter speed, your frames will look have a brown streak going through them, whereas if you shoot the same ball at a high shutter speed each frame will look like the ball is not even moving (commonly referred to as a frozen image). That's all... no resolution change... Hope it clears things up, Yecid (all the way from Bolivia) Jr.

Make sure you always check the store you'll be buying from on the net. I mean check for reviews of the actual store....not the product. Several friends of mine have lost a lot of money for trying to take advantage of deals that seemed too good to be true...turns out they were.
