User from shopper.cnet says: Now, that's all well and good, except for the fact that a resolution of 1440x1080 achieves a ratio of 4:3, NOT 16:9...the biggest downside is there is no true 24p recording!! the 24 frame mode (cinescope or whatever it's called) does a good job for dramatic footage, but it still doesn't compare to true 24p...there are a few cons to this camera...see more
