In addition there is another video customization that is important. In Europe the A/C currents cycle at 50 cycles/second, while in the USA/Japan it cycles at 60 cycles/second. So the European models for the non-high end cameras will give you 25 and 50 fps, while the USA/Japan models will give you 30 and 60 fps.

Actually most of the world uses 50 Hertz as the frequency now. The only exceptions are the North American continent and some countries in Middle and South America.

Japan is still a mix at the moment, using both 50 as well as 60 Hertz.

Red and green = 60 Hz, blue and brown = 50 Hz:

Ok, I didn't know that, but I thought Japan was still 60 Hz (and since cameras are designed in Japan....).

But it would be nice if camera vendors actually gave us 24, 25, 30 fps (and the higher multiples where possible) in all bodies, and not just the high end video bodies.  Just because I bought a camera in the USA, it does not mean I have to record video only in the USA.
