30p vs 24p

[Guest]

In considering which frame rate to standardize on for this series, I'm pondering the benefits, if benefits there are, to 24p vs. 30p. What I see most often in documentation is that 24p gives "that coveted film look."

Of course, I plan on doing some shooting this weekend to see how much of a difference I can tell from an emperical perspective, but I thought I'd see if there was a general sense around here of the whens and wheres to use 24p over 30p. I'm assuming that Sony included this option because there are reasons to choose it. But then, it may just be that Marketing wanted more bells and whistles. One never knows.

Any thoughts on the benefits of 24p?

Wiggly web pages? Maybe they were written by snakes!

Isn't that standard fare in California?

This is what happens when you read too fast. I thought you made reference to a fussy stripper so there was a brief moment while my brain rebooted. Al better now.
