30fps is for american NTSC standard. Since you are in Poland you're PAL, and run at 25fps. So, to avoid complicated conversions when you will output, you should shoot at 25fps, or 50fps.
I agree with your comment, but two other points to make. 25fps is also the frame rate for movie films. Some prefer to shoot in 25fps to get the "cinema look". The other consideration is computer monitors. I think they operate at 30fps. So, I think if you're looking to play back on a PAL tv, you would want 25fps, but for computer displays, 30. I'm not an expert on the computer refresh, but if they refresh fast enough, it won't matter because I think the players compensate by duplicating frames during playback.
Sorry but no. Film frame rate is 24fps. not 25.
In Pal countries, such as the UK, video is 25 fps at 50hz.
In NTSC countries, such as the US, video is 30fps at 60hz.
Due to the difference of frequency, there is no difference in perception of the image speed.
What you call the cinematic effect appears if you shoot at 24 fps in the US (making a difference)
however, shooting at 24 in the UK instead of 25 makes little difference.
A computer can display any frame rate and is not following TV standards. (I've never tried it at 38.7 though)
There is no duplication of frames when playing back, that would look very odd.
Video on computers and on TV are fundamentally different. Broadcast TV signals are interlaced video, while computer displays signals are better played from progressive video.
Conversions in all ways exist but are creating other problems.
So, to answer the question from the OP:
Shoot based on what you will output. Basically, in america at 30 (or a multiple of 30 for slomo) in the UK 25 (or a multiple of 25 for slomo). If you want the "cinematic" effect, it's 24 fps for everybody.
Now, to finish on youtube, on a website or a mobile phone, I wonder if all of that is really important!! :lol:
