Panasonic AVCHD 50p/60p MTS Converter for FCP

Nowadays more and more cameras and camcorders can record full HD 1080P 50p/60p AVCHD files. Like Panasonic HDC-TM700 is a camcorder introduced in early 2010 that is able to shoot 1080p 50/60P AVCHD. It performs good quality in low-light conditions, and it includes 3MOS system as well as 35mm wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom. HDC-TM700 is proposed with 1080/50p (Full HD 1920x1080 with 50 progressive recording) in Europe, and 1080/60p (full HD 1920x1080 with 60 progressive recording) in America. The Panasonic HDC-TM900 is the successor to the lauded HDC-TM700, it offers the same fantastic video performance as its predecessor, particularly with its widely-praised 1080/60p mode.

With Panasonic TM700/TM900 video cameras, good to tell that you can shoot full HD videos, but bad news is currently the Panasonic 50/60P AVCHD format is nearly impossible to be edited.
