First run out with A129 Pro Duo 4K.
I’ve noticed that the image gets degraded when there is a lot of motion while driving in the narrow road. Is it the way it came out or is it the YouTube compression doing that. Also when you are driving around in the city comparing both of the cameras it is quite hard to tell the difference between the two of them. They look nice and clear when there is not much motion in the picture.First run out with A129 Pro Duo 4K.
If viewed the files on YouTube you do not see the true quality when viewed on YouTube. YouTube is good for giving a taste of what it's like but does not beat the raw files.
4K files are large and would take quite a while to download on a standard Internet connection so YouTube is the best solution. Not all people have a fast PC and able to display 4K etc. whereas YouTube shows them at the best resolution for the viewer using lower resolutions.
There will always be situations where the number plate will not be readable regardless of frame rate. The lighting and angle of view are more important than the frame rate.
It is a limitation of video.
You can have 60fps at a lower resolutions if you really need it.
Can I have 60 fps (in 1080p mode, for sure) with the new A129 Pro Duo?
As others have said, I'm not sure that setting the A129 or any other camera to 60fps will achieve what you want.
Sorry - my previous reply was incorrect.Can I have 60 fps (in 1080p mode, for sure) with the new A129 Pro Duo?
1080p60 + 1080p30
The Pro can see sufficiently far at 4K resolution that 60fps is normally pointless, and you will do much better using 4K 30fps than using a lower resolution at 60fps. The camera can read a plate at twice the distance at 4K compared to 1080 and since close plates tend to suffer from motion blur 2x the distance gives far more than twice the number of readable frames, while 60fps only gives 2x the number of readable frames.That could be a good solution!
2K 60fps + 1080P 30fps is under testing.

So unless you are driving at 300 Km/h or always turning sharp corners in tight spaces so that plates are never seen at distance then 4K is the best setting.
Your Pro Still Frame looks to be ahead of the V3 still frame (reference the line in the pavement), a little bit of an unfair comparison. Great shots nonetheless.
