Best slow motion setting?

[themagickite]

on the hvx you could shoot at 60fps and then slow down that a tad in post

Sure could, but then that can be said for footage from any camera.

yeah but if you slowed down the 60fps footage from the hvx by 50% you'd get the same speed of slow motion as if you shot 120fps, and this would look much better than cameras like the DVX slowed down to get the same effect. wouldn't it?

You'd get 50% slo-mo, which is not as slow or smooth as 40% slo-mo, which is what's prescribed above.

But the HVX takes care of that for you in-camera if you use it properly, so you don't have to worry about in post at all.

I think he is talking about 60fps from the camera playing back at 24fps and then slowing by another 50%.

I would think the breaking point would be reached before you hit a 120fps equivalent from the HVX.

If you have AE7 or later you can use pixel motion to get REALY nice slow motion.

Even the El Cheapo consumer Sony HDV's have a super-slo-mo that shoots over 200fps I think. The drawback is that the image goes down to 320x240 or something similar.
