In a non-DPM camera, there's also the possibility of interline twitter. The sensitivity of a 1080p camera is lower than that of a 1080i camera. They cost more. Should I go on? If everyone should use the highest-rez cameras, we should all be shooting UDTV, with 32 million full-color pixels per frame.
