60p Color versus 24p Color

Hello All:

A very strange/silly question. As many of you know, I shoot video underwater. I started with HDV in 2008 and moved to AVCHD in 2012.

I just started using 60p. I've noticed my colors are "better" (as in truer) than the 24p I was using in prior years. The 60p also seems to white balance better than my 24p. This is a totally subjective statement, but it just seems "better."

Any thoughts on why this could be the case? I'm using the same camera, housing, lights, water conditions, etc., as in the past.

Maybe it is the way you are viewing it? Do you have samples of 24p and 60p?
At a given bit rate, 24p should be better.

I have never shot in 24p and went from HDV 1080i straight to Full HD1080 60p. For the recent event I shot 1280x720 60p but only because the HXR-Z5U cant do full 1080 60p. I love the smoothness of 60p.

Anything "auto" in a camera will work better at 60p than 24p as the servo control loop has a higher sample rate to work with.
