shot shutter set to 1/60th

Not sure why it would look sped up, or jittery. You're normal in PAL-land is 25i, 50p allows you to playback at half speed slow, or normalize to 25i and playback at regular speed -- you're shutter choice was almost 360 degrees (the difference between 1/50 and 1/60 is insignificant) and in any case nowhere near fast enough to generate the nervous jittery look that high shutter speeds do ... So I can't really guess at what is wrong with your footage. Nothing in the specs you describe hints at a problem. Maybe post a sample ..?

Miguel,
I think that what you mean with 'looks like it has been sped up', is the 'normal' 50p look. I always have that feeling as well, especially after I watch something in slowmotion or 24/25p.
RGBaker is right, if you shoot 60p then at least set the shutter speed to 1/100 for it to look right.
Then if you still dont like the look, try 24p or 25p with shutter 1/50. That will look the most 'film like' and probably more like you expect it to be.

For a traditional look you try for 180 degree shutter. In simple terms that means at 25P you want 1/50th. For 50p you want 1/100th. But shutter speed is fractions of a second. Setting it at 1/60th is actually keeping the shutter open longer, not shorter. Setting at 1/60th for 50p will not give you jutter. If it was actualy 50i then 1/60th is a little faster than 1/50th, but you probably won't notice it. I think your problem lies elsewhere.
You need to investigate further. Did you drop the 50p footage on a 30p or 60p timeline? That can cause issues.
If this is intended for 60p or 60i final output the footage can be converted, but it will take a long time and likely require a lot of work. It can be done though.

Thanks guys, That helps.
I think I need to investigate a little further. To be honest I haven't actually seen the footage yet. I just got a call last night from the editor trying to explain what he was looking at and the difference between the two cameras. So I got him to check the settings for me. I'll watch the footage and also find out about the timeline he is putting it on.
Thanks again.
