1. Using I-Movie with this camera it will not be possible to have my 24f footage edited at 24f since it only offer 25 frames per second, correct?
2. Will Final cut express work for 24f editing, if so what is the quickest way to learn how to use this program... (I already have but don't know how to use it and Apple won't help unless you buy their support)?
3. How noticeable is 24f from 25f?
4. Will one gig of ram being added to my Imac be enough to edit 1080 24f, it's at 512 now?
5. Is the XH A1's 24f pretty much the same thing as the 24p to the average viewer or does not measure up? (this is subjective I know, but hopefully those who answer will try to answer with being impartial)
6. And finally, It's down to the XH A1, Hvx200, Sony's HD and the JVC Gy-hd100 from what I can see the biggest bang for the buck is with the canon. Ultimately the other camera's cost more. The Panasonic I don't believe has the steady cam and the HD is only acheived using the P2 cards which are very pricey and only record for minutes, but I do like the 24p I have seen from the dvx's and the hvx would only be better. The canon will take tapes which works for me. So my only concern is that it will shoot 24f that looks like 24p. That and that the canon 24f footage can be converted back to mini-dv since that is the criteria for some of the festivals out there.
