Frame Rate at DVinfo.net

I think I might have been fed some incorrect info on the Optura Xi. Does it shoot at 60i or 30i? Also, if shooting in 60i, is there a "recommended" shutter speed for making the picture feel slightly more cinematic?

* OK, so I did find out it's 60i. Makes sense now that I think about it. Is there even a 30i? As for the shutter speed, I've been using 1/30 but I read a lot of people use 1/60. Is there anything wrong with 1/30? *

Nope nothing wrong with 1/30 or 1/60 for that matter. You'll get a different look with each one, pick whichever one you think looks best.
