Does anybody have experience with the Sony HDR-XR500 Hard Drive camcorder?
I'm planning to buy one in the next few days and hoped somebody else may have already used it with FCP6. It apparently uses a AVCHD codec, the workflows I have researched online use Log and Transfer to bring in FCP friendly files. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated.
p.s I would consider another camera but the sony night vision is the decider.
