Steve, you are probably like me and a few other video geeks who bought this camera because it's cheap (for HD), pocketable or almost and it can shoot 720/60p where the nearest alternative, price-wise, may be the Panasonic HVX-200 or Sony EX-1. After some months of fiddling around, I can say this camera's footage at the top two quality settings is not Mac-friendly. Just forget about using any versions of iMovies or FCEs. You need FCP6 or maybe the latest Avid or Adobe Premier Pro for that matter! to just get the footage properly edited and keep the clips' properties intact.

I now wish I had one of the flash memory AVCHD cameras. I am happy to live with the bigger size and slower frame rates.

I haven't bought one, but 720p60 for that price is a good deal, but only if one can edit it natively. I have premiere -- wonder if it will work?

Can you post a few second samples of 720p60 anf 1080i60?
