HMC150 720 30p Native

A question for all you HMC150 owners out there. I spend a majority of my time shooting 30p on my DVX, am considering upgrading to the HMC, and noticed on B&H that it only shoots 720 30p over 60p. I wonder what the 720 30p looks like once recovered from 60. Do you conform from 60p to 30p in Compressor, and once you do, is it really native 30p? Is it a PITA?

Any input is appreciated- thanks!
 
The HMC150's 30p is hassle-free and looks exactly like 30p from a DVX (except HD, of course). Don't worry about it, it's a non-issue.
 
That just means it is contained in a 60p compatible stream, but it really is just 30 frames. This keeps it standards compliant, but any software updated in the last year should properly recognize it as 30p.
