Hi guys. Today, I just happened to wonder about the difference of shooting at VFR 60p in 720p/24pn vs. shooting in 720p/60p. Obviously, you can record audio in the second, but is there any difference in image quality, blurriness, etc? Didn't have the chance to test the difference, but I though I'd ask here. Thanks.
 
The footage will be absolutely identical. The difference is only one of the header flag in the file that tells the computer at what speed to play the footage back at (and, of course, the presence of audio).

This is not the case with other speeds though. If you shoot 720/60p at 48fps, or 720/24pN at 48fps, the files will not be identical, the 720/60p@48 will have 12 duplicate frames in its stream. The 48 valid frames will be identical to the 720/24pN@48fps 48 frames, but there will be the extra padding frames present too.
