It's meant to be like a reality show so the "realness" of interlaced video is what suits it best.

"The Office" had a decent budget, I can't see any reason why they'd consider using prosumer cameras instead of full size Digi Beta/HD cameras.

Also slightly off topic, but does anyone know what Grizzly Man was shot on, and who did the absolutely stunning transfer to 35mm? At least the brand new print I saw at our film festival in Traverse City was amazing, better looking than most films originating in film. I am thinking it was an early 3 chip DV camera like the VX1000.
And this is germane since I wonder with the ever improving transfers from 60i if one should consider shooting the H1 (which I don't own but am considering) and the z1 in 60i rather than either 24f or 50i even when film out is intended. 60i would also mean that HD projection and/or NTSC DVD/TV screenings will be optimal.
