Yes but who wants a 1080i interlace camcorder? Progressive scan is the only way to go. However Toshiba is also introducing some high speed 720p models that can capture video at 60 frames per second. Toshiba offers these models at a discount which is not a bad deal considering that 720p offers better picture quality than 1080i.
 
Everyone isn't making movies with there camcorder so they don't need 1080p24. TV shows can be shot interlaced especially reality shows.
 
Even for reality shows news and sports progressive is always better than interlace because with progressive you can shoot at 60 frames per second and not just 24.
