Get yourselves a stiff drink if you are going to tolerate the idiocy of my questions, I know nothing about shooting video. I've got a gopro hero 2 and I sold all of my digital camera gear to fund another hobby. I've now decided to buy another digital camera and want one that will shoot some video to go with the gopro.
Here's where the confusion lies:
I think I get the difference between 30fps and 25fps, it's to do with 50hz and 60hz displays, but what's the need for 24fps? Is anyone actually going to notice the difference between that and 25fps?
If you're outputting for web does it really matter what mode you shoot in? The reason for asking is that I can't believe a video shot in 25fps will look different on a computer over here than it would on a computer in the states when watched on youtube. Or would it?
My choices boil down to this, a 550/600d or a Fuji X-S1. Unlikely competition but there is a reason.
The 550d/600d seems to be the benchmark in my price range, it probably does everything I would want it to and more and there's no doubt that optically it will be more superior than the Fuji. The downside is it's a dslr, if I can help it I really down want to get sucked into the dslr arms race that sucks up all your money where you think you just need one more lens to do this and then one more lens to do that. Before I know it I've got a collection of gear, most of which hardly gets used and an empty wallet. The other thing is the drain on the computer processing 18mp RAW files instead of 12mp from the Fuji. I certainly won't ever need more than 12mp that's for certain.
The advantage of the Fuji is the obvious avoidance of gear acquisition syndrome, I'd have to make do with what I've got. But there is one question mark over the Fuji that relates to the earlier points which my or may not be a deal breaker.
From what I can find online the Fuji will only record at 30fps. How much of a ball ache is this going to be if I'm trying to match it together with footage from the gopro at 25fps? I've got Adobe Premiere Elements for editing, would this be able to strip every sixth frame to make 25fps or is that a terrible idea that I deserve shooting for?
Cheers,
Kev
