Hello everyone,

Sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong section, as you can see from my post count, I'm new to this forum (and kinda new to filmmaking). :)

So there goes my problem. I'm looking for a mirrorless system camera (Micro 4/3 or similar) capable of 1080p (24p/30p (since I would be filming for web, 60i wouldn't be the best, right?)) with a price tag of about ~500 GBP or ~800 USD. I really like the Sony NEX-5, but it records 60i video, so I guess to get 30p I'll have to deinterlace and therefore lose some quality (how much)?

I've also looked into Lumix DMC-GF1 with the PTool hack, but is it capable of 1080/30p recording, and is the sensor capable of this?
Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Justinas

well , if you film for web, you do not really need 1080. 720p would be way enough.
deinterlacing is not good for image quality anyway (but neither web broadcasting with heavy compression).
you can find many small camera for about $500 able to shoot progressive either in 720 or 1080.
that is 1080p60 that is rare, not 1080p24 or 30
 
im pretty sure gf1 isnt true 1080, its scaled 720, still looks good. 720 is fine if you are only doing web
