Kelly - I would also suggest the Canon 135mm 2.0. On the 7D, its reach is equivalent to 216mm and faster than the 70-200. We shoot a lot of weddings and end up using the 135mm a lot during ceremonies...

I could be wrong, but I read on another thread that importing as XDCAM EX wasn't fully supported until FCP6. DVCProHD, as Mike mentioned, should be available though.

You may also want to test out the 501HDV Bogen head. A bit cheaper than the 503HDV but we've had a decent experience with them using 5D+7Ds while panning for speeches and dances.

You are not compressing the video - In fact, ProRes is decompressing it (not sure if that's the correct term). And yes, transcoding to ProRes will make your file sizes considerably larger.

If necessary, you can always bump the ISO up to 640 (and even 1250) if you need to stop down more. I prefer to stay under 1250.
