I find that a slow speed allows some motion blur to appear on the fields and this, to my eye at least, is less intrusive then the 'tearing' seen at high shutter speeds.

The FX1 won't allow a change of frame rate. And nor will any other MiniDV camera I know of.

I'm pretty sure the NTSC and "Universal" versions of the Canon XL1/XL2/XLH1 had multiple framerate modes...


25, 50, 24, 48, 30, 60, I also believe that they have a high speed mode? (not sure but the guy on the 28 days later DVD says that they had a 100 something fps mode that they used for creating that "jitter" effect when people become infected.


A lot of Sony's series of cameras with "Clearvid" cmos have a mode where they can record a few seconds of footage at an extremley high framerate and then span that across 12 seconds worth of 50/60i footage. However it is of pretty damn poor quality to be honest... I wouldn't really use it for any seious work lol.
