Re: Cineframe 30/Cineframe 25 resolution loss vs. 60i

[James L. Arthurs] "I guess in the "glass half full" mode of thinking, at least then you wouldn't have a quality mis-match if you choose to shoot 60i and reduce to fields for slow motion to inter-cut with CF25 material. "

Well, no, there still will be a little bit of a mismatch, but not nearly as much as on a DVX or XL2 where you're mixing progressive with interlaced. On the FX1 it appears that you're getting a raw field's worth of resolution, not a blended field, so you're looking at 575 lines (vs. the about 400 if you'd shot 60i and slowed that down to 50%). CF30 (and presumably CF25) are going to be a lot higher-res than doing a de-interlace in post.
