Have an AF100 on order - shooting with an HVX200 now - but looking for a small, inexpensive camcorder that won't break the bank if it's lost or broken. Mainly want to shoot sports-specific b-roll. Does anyone have any insight to the HDC-SD60 and can the AVC h.264 file be imported to FCP - converted to ProRes - for editing?

Any ideas?
 
why not a used GH1 or GF1? Keep all your B roll AVCHD, it's not a camcorder but you could probably find a used GH1 or GF1 body for
$400-600.

Thanks - I agree and like the idea of the GH2 but I've already got a 7D - I'm looking for a palm sized, one-handed camera that I can shoot skiing, mountain biking or any other sport in a totally on-the-go mode. Interviews and documentation with the AF100 but action in a SD card cam that literally fits in my pocket. I saw the HDC SD60 on the Apple website and thought it might work without spending a bundle.
