Thanks

It's the bitrate you are recording at.

Higher bitrate = higher quality.

Higher bitrate = bigger file.

WTF is this post.

There is 1080p which is 1920x1080p 1920x1080i is what tv broadcasts.

Your search - 1920x1080fh 1920x1080fx 1920x1080ps - did not match any documents.

So, where are you seeing these suffixes?

Only thing I can find pertaining to these suffixes is under the following website under specifications and video modes:

Took the words right out of my mouth... I don't know those suffixes after the resolutions.

They appear to be quality levels for Sony cameras recording 1080i, at least for FH and FX. I haven't seen PS, and the Sonystyle website is harder to navigate, and each page more annoying to view, than the last time I was there (admittedly, about 5 years ago).

Ya you are right I have to buy digital camera and I find there these terms
1920x1080 ps find on panasonic tz20 and others on sony digital camera like hx7v... So I want to know the main difference.

PS is the highest bit rate/lowest compression/best quality. FX is lower, FH is lower still. As always, shoot some videos to confirm.

PS is also progressive and the Fx modes may be interlaced.

AVCHD FX (24Mbps) 1920x1080/60i
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1920x-1080/60i
AVCHD HQ (9Mbps) 1440x1080/60i
AVCHD LP (5Mbps) 1440x1080/60i
AVCHD FX (24Mbps) 1920x1080/24p
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1920x1080/24p

AVCHD FX (24Mbps) 1280x720/60p
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1280x720/60p
MPEG2 SD HQ (9Mbps) 720x480/60i
MPEG2 SD HQ (9Mbps) 720x480/60i (24p Scan)
MPEG2 SD HQ (9Mbps) 720x480/60i (30p Scan)

HD : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AVCHD)
SD : MPEG-2 PS

At least, that's what I found

I just bought a Sony Camcorder and was presented with these choices too. There was no explanation in the manual about them. I googled and turned up pretty much what AkumaX posted. They are various compression options. FX is best, then FH. I don't have PS on mine but I'll guess that's "progressive scan".

Basically use FX is quality is important or you are filming something fast moving (like a sporting event, or you are skiing a downhill run or something), FH will save space and allow you to record more video on a given SD/flash card.
