Response to Slow Motion Feature on DV cam

Keep your framerate high for extra flexibility of changing speeds. There aren't any "digital" cameras that film in slow motion. (Or at least none that I've heard of.) Only film cameras and a few analogue cameras are well known for that capability. "Hollywood picture like framerate" is just as standard as television framerate nowdays. Star Wars Episode II was done filmed in digital at 25 fps which is actually lower then television's NTSC 29.97 fps. My advice is to keep it above standard. I've heard that there are ways of "tweaking" with digital cameras (Sony PD-150 in particular) to get a higher then average framerate. You'll have to ask someone else about that.
