Re: DSLR + HD VIDEO - which one to choose?

I understand that the idea of having a sensor size close to real 35mm film is interesting, but don't you think that having better than what 35mm film has to offer is even more interesting? You get better low light performance (actually, I'm not sure if this applies to the 5d2 when using it in movie mode, IS IT better than the crop frame sensors that records 720p? in terms of noise at high iso?) and narrowed DOF. About the DOF if you want a look more like 35mm you could always stop down the aperture a little and you would generally get better sharpness than a wide open lens! another plus to me!

Also, I'm not sure if I get the importance of having 24p. I know how 24p looks but can't you convert your 30p into 24p for similar effect on movement? Also, I believe the most important of the 35mm look is the DOF, not the 24p.

If you could enlighten me on why 24 frames per second is so unique and important, I would appreciate it.
