Mixing 720p60 and 720p24 in same shoot

[VideoMaker]

At weddings I like to shoot 720p60 so I have the option of producing high quality slomo. I conform the footage to a 24p timeline slowing it to 40% which gives me frame-accurate slomo.

I recently shot a wedding this way but later in the evening the low light scenes were pretty grainy due to the increased gain required. I'm thinking a better approach might be to switch to 720p24 (i.e., 1/48 shutter) for the low light parts of the event.

I use Vegas for editing and it will handle both types of clips in the same project without problem. From the perspective of the HMC-150, is this a good strategy? If not, what would you suggest?

i say yes.
24p at 1/48 will give you better lowlight performance than 60p at 1/120.
motion blur will look different, but as long as you're not intercutting 24p with 60p(non-slomo) then no one will notice.
sounds like you can get all your 60p stuff earlier in the day, then switch to 24p as it gets dark.....assuming there's no critical action you want to capture for slomo.
if it fits in with your style of shooting, i'd even suggest shooting mainly 24p, and switching to 60p only for those specific shots you know you will likely slow down.
