Thank you so much for your kind answer Neil. Yes indeed, I found a Jeff B. tutorial on the web where he explains that when exporting to SD, it may be better to shoot in 720p. He suggest to end up on an interlaced SD video that will take the most of the progressive original footage, and take shorter rendering time as 720 is less than the 1080.
By the way the FZ100 shoots in 1080i 60 or 50 fps and in 720p same fps, which is great. One question though: its is said that if you want to make your video look like film, you may lower the fps to 24 or 25. In this case, could that be possible? I mean it'd be the half of 50fps!
