Informal 'poll' regarding video shooting/frame rate
1

Hi everyone.

Without boring you with too many details, in the past I haven't shot a ton of video that isn't my daughter in a school dance recital or soccer game.

Having just picked up an R6 MKii I was asked to shoot stills of a music concert the other day and for fun I shot some video.   I'm kind of 'programmed' to use 24 (23.98) frames when shooting video because I'm a movie-geek and like the 'filmic' look.  The 4k vids I captured were tremendous.

Question is, if you are out at night in the city streets for example, would you personally shoot 24, 30, 60 frames?  Say you're in Times Square in Manhattan, or New Orleans during Mardi Gras, or your just shooting vid while walking the rain-soaked streets of your hometown.  What frame rate do you prefer?  If you use 24 frames, do you keep it to a fixed position with minimal 'panning' or other movement?

Just curious.  Thanks for any input.
