I have a Panasonic TM-700 that shoots 1080 60p. It does not capture 30p, just 60p and four diverent bitrates of 1080i and Cinima mode which is the 24p. But you can shoot in 60p and render to 30p very easily, and there is no interlacing do deal with, just 60 perfect pic per frame. You’ll need an i7 to edit AVCHD smoothly, wheather its 1080i or 60p.
