That's a common misconception and 180-degrees mistaken. The in-camera 24p from the Panasonic (and Canon) products are imaging true progressive images. They are actually much *higher* in resolution than interlaced video. The post solutions are starting with interlaced video and then blending the fields together in a way that simulates the look of 24p.
There's nothing similar about the ways that are being implemented. With the in-camera solutions you're talking about a device that is progressively-scanning one frame every 1/24 of a second. With the post solutions, they're taking 60 fields and attempting to simulate the look of progressive capture.
What is similar is the overall feeling of the footage once you're done. And the post algorithms can be very good -- film transfer houses have been doing this for decades, so they've gotten quite good at it, and all reports are that the GearShift program, and Vegas' internal processing, do a great job of it.
