Is the quality at 1/30 shutter (interlaced mode) acceptable or is there too much strobing?

I find it generally acceptable. If there is not much motion in-frame, and you aren’t watching carefully, you probably wouldn’t notice the strobe effect. If you do a fast pan you definitely see it. As you go to slower shutter speeds like 1/15 and slower you definitely see it. I filmed a medium-speed dance (foxtrot) in a dim interior at 1/30 and it came out pretty well. Note that the auto-focus works more slowly with slower shutter speeds; if you want auto-focus this might be the biggest problem. Autofocus works at about 1/2 the speed when you go from 1/60 to 1/30 shutter.
