24p for $1000
Been following cameras. DVX100's are down to about $1800 now. The Canon XH A1 is in the 3000's but has that weird 24f mode. Still, it's supposed to be nice. The Canon HV-20 looks like the one to beat for cheap indy films. The footage I saw on youtube looked nice. True 24p (not 24f) but from a CMOS. The low light shots looked good too but of course it's hard to tell with crappy youtube footage. One big advantage of this over a DVX100 is the native 16x9.

so what is 24f ? the way i understand it is that 24p is really 24 different images being captured as stills every second, and that these other systems are simulating it with basically new kinds of interlacing?

24f is a feature of canon's more expensive video cameras. Apparently there's some technical reason they can't call it 24p. But it's supposed to be good, not like Sony's cineframe.
