I dont know of anyone able to use 60fps... (might be some, but i've not heard of them)

I know....it's an amazingly fast capture rate. Too fast for most scopes....you need a light bucket and a half to suck in enough photons just to keep the chip illuminated!!!. Anyway, who knows...Greg may just shell out the money for a 40" OGS RC!!!!...problem solved
That's why on most scopes 30fps, or thereabouts, is more than good enough. Once you get to the 10-12" mark (and a reasonably fast F ratio) you maybe stretching it, but for anything smaller it's OK.
Good thing, though, is the camera would have controls on the fps rate anyway, so you could buy it and know it's going to be useful. Unless you went for a larger chip and didn't mind the slower fps.
