I think mainly why 1080 60p is not an option (except in high-end HD cameras) is that Broadcast TV currently cannot handle the bandwidth. So manufacturer's figure that right now there's no need for 1080 60p. Once there is a codec that can efficiently get 1080 60p within the bandwidth of Broadcast TV, then I think you will see 1080 60p. But then what becomes of 1080i and 720p; they are no longer needed. What a concept? Only one high definition standard.
