If the HD2 was able to record 60fps (in whatever mode), the manual would
certainly name that mode - as it names all the others (page 74, page 77 etc.) -
but it doesn't. So from the manual it seems there's no way to record 60fps.

And the fact that it mentions 60fps clips only to say that such recorded by
the HD1(a) cannot be replayed at 60fps is a another indication that this
feature is missing, right?

So while you are formally right that the cited sentence alone would not rule
out 60fps recordings, it seems very likely that this feature is gone.

That's why I ask (somebody who actually own a HD2 already)...
