24p -- is this a misprint from B&H?

In the specifiaction page it lists 24p???? It is either a misprint or Sony has changed the spec at the last miunute and moved the launch to December.

"Shutter Speed Range 60i: 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/90, 1/100, 1/125, 1/180, 1/250, 1/350, 1/500, 1/725, 1/1000, 1/1500, 1/2000, 1/3000, 1/4000, 1/6000, 1/10000

24p: 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/24, 1/40, 1/48, 1/50, 1/60, 1/96, 1/100, 1/120, 1/144, 1/192, 1/200, 1/288, 1/400, 1/576, 1/1200, 1/2400, 1/4800, 1/10000 sec "

Let us hope so.
Wouldn't this be a nice 35mm adapter-camera?
Let's just hope it has manual controls!

That is strange.

I don't know if they can actually get genuine 24p off of an interlace chip can they?
I know we saw this discussed non-stop when Canon delivered 24F from the interlaced chips in their H1, A1, and G1.
Perhaps Sony might have followed a similar process here.

Or...it is quite simply a teasing typo.

Eh, even though I'm not in the market for this camcorder anyway, I think Sony should implement 24p if they can.
The HV20 has triumphantly proven that it's not an option reserved soley for professional use. Considering the HD1000 presents more of a professional appearance than the HV20, the least they could do is offer that feature to ensure professional results.

CMOS is natively progressive... so yes they can.

Ah, thanks Chris.

If it does indeed have 24p it will be in a 60i stream because it is going to HDV tape. But like Chris stated the CMOS is a progressive chip, so all they have to do is a pull down flags to 24p. So, if you want to edit 24p framerate you'll have to extract from 60i.

We'll see if it ends up being a typo or not. To be fair i haven't seen anything official from Sony claiming 24p for this particular camera.

Cheers to my fellow Houstonian!!!!!!!!

The camera is now listed at Sonybiz.net and there is no mentioning about 24/25P

The only shutter-speed range listed is for 60i. Much as I hate to say it, unless Sony has snuck in 24p at the last minute, B&H's listing for the HD1000U is in error. But even if not, because the camera's intended for the wedding-videographer rather than the extreme-sports doumentary market, whip pans, nauseating handheld work, and and other extreme camera movement were probably envisioned as the exception for this camera rather than the rule. I doubt, therefore, that much work was done to counteract the CMOS wobble effect. Also, if there is 24p, there are probably no pulldown flags. If it's there, 24p was added to impart a film-look lushness to event -- particularly wedding -- videos. Still, a $1,600 shoulder-mount camera with 24p would be interesting, even with the necessary workarounds.

And there you have the definition of 24 Progressive Segmented Frame or, 24PsF.

Actually 24PsF as used in the f900 is in a 48i stream and that's strictly for monitoring...

I've asked our pro-video sales manager to check and if our specs are incorrect we will fix them. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Chris Hurd]

Thanks for looking into this, Henry -- much appreciated as always,

Okay, I wasn't clear. It doesn't require a '60i' stream. It's a progressively captured image broken apart into two fields (with no motion lag) to be carried in an interlaced signal chain and storage medium.
