[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 508891, member: 12496"] The D7100 says about the same thing, but the D7200 is more capable. Including 1920x1080, the D7100 says 60i or 30p, and also 1.3x for 1920x1080. The D7200 says 60p or 30p The D5500 says 60p or 30p without the 1.3 crop factor. So we are discussing two different things... The 1.3 crop factor is a smaller sensor area, no doubt because the camera processor is not fast enough to do 1920x1080 60p at full DX frame size. The output 1920x1080 frame is still just that, still comes out the right size. But even the 1.3x crop is still a much larger sensor than most camcorders. The 1.3x crop will increase the lens telephoto effect somewhat, 30%. Depth of field possibly could be slightly greater, one advantage of the FX DSLR for movies is that the sensor is larger, to better duplicate shallow depth of field shots seen from Hollywood cameras, and noise can be improved too. 60p: Much HDTV (broadcast and cable channels is 1920x1090 60i, but several channels (notably ESPN) is 1280x720 30p. Here is a list: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television_in_the_United_States"]High-definition television in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] 60i is interlaced, meaning that it shows every other line in each of two passes, at 60Hz (like old CRT TV sets did), and so they combine at 30 fps American TV is 30 fps. 30p shows the full pictures at 30 fps (one pass). The difference is that motion could move slightly between the 60i two interlaced passes however, so more possibility of jitter in the two 60i passes (when the two half frames are combined). So 30p makes motion smoother (sports, etc). Normally though, no 60i problem is much visible. Digital sensors can easily capture the full frame (does not need to be interlaced), and 30p would be the norm for a digital sensor. 60p is is capability twice as fast. Blu-Ray CDs are 60p, and HDTV sets can show it, but no broadcast or cable channel is faster than 60i or 30p (not as much as 60p). So DSLR typically don't offer 30i or 60i, they can do 30p or 60p. The D7100 does do 1920x1080 60i however (easier for slower processor to keep up). My Canon R300 camcorder (digital) in fact takes 30p, but converts output to 60i, because that's what TVs expect... or at least, more video editors can handle it.
