On a particular camera, it's very possible. But in general, there is nothing that would make 720p look inherently better.



There would be some logic to that, but 1080 video is only 2 megapixels (1920x1080~2M). Surely all modern camera sensors have that many.
Multiply the frame rate by those 2mp. Then you see that the processor has a lot of work to do.
