Canon claims their frame mode produces the same results as progressive scan. Technically it's not progressive camera, but that does not mean progressive look can not be achieved. Interlaced cameras open, lock and scan fields from their CCDs at 1/60 or 1/50 sec. intervals. It seems like Canon used very clever process to achieve progressive images in XL-H1 by simply scanning both fields at the same time. Technically, it can not be called 24p, 25p or 30p so they call it "frame". Still, we have to wait for first hands-on tests and screenshots, but if Canon XL-H1 proves their frame mode equals progressive, then we have the coolest camera on the market able to deliver 1080p images. If that is confirmed, Canon will blow away Panasonic. Does not matter how great Pana HVX200 will be, most of us will not wait years for their 8-minute long P2 media to become affordable, let alone bigger capacities. When that finally happens, everybody will be using solid state memory instead of tape already. Don't get me wrong, HVX200 is very cool idea, but for a few years to come, mostly for wealthy customers. I don't think many of us will spend $10k to get the camera and media for 16-minutes of recording. But now, I can't wait to test Canon XL-H1 closely.
