See what I know below:
Does anyone know if the component out on the Sony HDR-FX1 camera actually spits out HD?
Yes. When properly setup through the menu, the output of the component is 1080i (at) 59.94 fps. We've used the AJA HD10A to convert the component out to HDSDI. Downside is there is no deck control.
Just found the manual online but it's a little vague.
And more importantly, if it does, what happens when you shoot at 24fps?
Sony does not use a standard 2:3 pulldown. They use a variant developed by Cineform called Cineframe:

It "looks" like 2:3 but I don't think you could pull any Psf out of it. There's another test of the Cineframe mode:

Is it recorded on tape at 30 really with 3:2 in it like 24fps on MiniDV?
With Sony's HDV, it's not like the Panisonic DXV-100A DV where it embeds standard or advanced 2:3 on a base 30 tape (ala Telecine)
Your best option might be to shoot in PAL and convert to 24Psf from there.
Until next time...
