This is correct. The cannon (nor any Canon video camera) shoots in true 24p (it's interpolated). They'll be the last company to jump on the band wagon if they ever do. Phorland, if you were going this route (60i) I'd definitely stick with the Sony you already have. Those larger CCDs can make a nice difference. But if you want true 24p, I'd probably go the DVX100 route.
