i have owned my sony fx1 for a couple years now and i am really tired of HDV, i have had so many problems importing HDV to Final Cut Pro and is such a time consuming process. also i am tired of buying tapes! i am in the market for a new camera and the HMC150 fits my price range along with the features that it supports. i will have much higher quality footage with that camera, and not need to worry about tapes. However, how do i import HD from that camera to FCP without loosing any quality? is it easy?
