I'm a complete newbie in this, and believe it or not I did read everything I can about these video modes. I know 60i is interlaced and it's basically a frame consisting of 2 sections which is good for fast moving scenes, I know PF30 is pretty much 30p but it's Canon's special container format. I also know 24p is for movie like recording.
Question is, based on what I read, 60i and PF30 should be identical, yes? That's when I watch them in my computer (not for youtube). The reality is, in my XA10, even in the LCD monitor of the camera, 60i is significantly faster and more fluid and overall its better. 24p is straight up slow and I can see being useful for movies and such, PF30 on the other hand is no where near as fast as 60i. I just don't understand why someone would use PF30 over 60i, or am I missing something?
Thanks.
