Its more than shit cameras. My old V1U from a few years ago was just a 3 chip hdv and it randomly had a 120 mode that was like 320x180 i believe which is probably what this is.
It could also be 60 and then slowed down with some optical flow? It could be possible with the footage but maybe not. Also could be done with Twixtor as well, but from my little experience with Twixtor, these types of shots really would work with it.
