Could somebody explain me which are the benefits of recording in 60p, 24p and 30p in a HD200? Thanks to all.

60p for fluid-like fast motion without the field-ripping like in 60i. 60p is also useful for slow-motion.
24p for film-like temporal motion.
30p for something in-between and simple "no-brainer" editing into 29.97 NTSC or 1080i60 sequences.

I would add that 30p for DVD distribution should be avoided at all costs. Good for internet movies and 2nd class quality for everything else. But if you had to mix with 60i broadcast or DVD it will be OK.

Shoot 24p (preferred in my opinion for DVD on HDTV's) and 60p to be used for 60i DVD or broadcast. 60p can also be dropped in a 24p timeline as well, though your shutter speed will be a little faster.. 1/60th instead of 1/48th. Not the end of the world, but will sometimes give you results you don't want.
