No, it will not output 24P.
Sorry, my mistake. I mean to be used with an image converter at which point, the original lens gets "in the way".

So taking a $1000 camera and doing a mod that would cost over $3000 totals up to 4 grand for a camera that is still interlaced that uses windowing on it CCD’s, so it is not even reading the entire mega pixel for video on the CCD’s. Then you have a smaller lens with less controls.<<<<<

again, whatever lens control would have been on the original lens was of no interest to me, (but I did not mention)

From what I understood about Andromeda, It will gather the signal from the CCD and (aside from being uncompressed) will be exported to HD as whatever form the user will decide (including 24P)
Even if that is not the case, there are options in NLE to make it "look" like 24P (for the sake of strobbing) and unless print to film is desired (which would be done from a higher end chips for higher resolution) the purpose would be accomplished from a lower end camcorder (IMHO)
The 2.3Mpixel still from that model could be Hi Rez enough for video (if all data could be captured uncompressed) The refresh rate may not allow for 30fps (or even 24) but who knows.....
