What is a 60i format?
A 60i format shoots 60 fields a second, which get combined into 30 frames a second. Each frame consists of two fields, each 1/60th of a second apart. This time difference is what causes all the grief in dealing with interlaced images on the computer, which displays all images progressively.
How many frames per second is 60i?

What is the difference between 60p and 30p and 48P?
60p is suited for fast-paced sports where movements with 30p just don’t look as smooth as they should. Again, it is already suited to slow the motion down in an editing software and the motion looks still fluent. Slowing down for 48p and 60p is meant as ‘moderate’.
Is 60p a good format for action sports videos?
Therefore 60p is a good format for action sports. When a 60i raw format is de-interlaced to a 30 frame per second video it depends on the quality of the de-interlacing software (algorithm) how great your video looks, how sharp it is.
