720p is a nickname for HDTV video format featuring a 1280×720 resolution
 Which includes a progressive scan. A 720
moniker stands for a display resolution of 720 horizontal scan lines (also identified as 720 pixel vertical resolution), and the letter p means or non-interlaced or progressive scan. Broadcast at 60 fps, 720p presents the greatest temporal (motion) resolution available using the ATSC or DVB standard.

When compared to 1080i Progressive scanning diminishes the need to preclude flicker by filtering away fine details, leaving sharpness is significantly nearer to 1080i than what the scan line numbers would indicate. Converting to higher-quality 50/60 Hz also becomes easier to perform including slow-motion playback with progressive movies. In high-motion
scenarios, 720p features higher vertical resolution over 1080i, allowing it to be
preferred for sporting events like auto sports and basketball which are very fast paced on live television.
HD video is the rule and not the exception for the new cameras being announced.
Four Thirds cameras are being developed with AVCHD Video. I don't expect to see
many more new cameras announced without HD Video.
