However the MOV files using variable bitrate MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 compression, which is well-supported by FCP X. Due to its high data rate (20-30mbps), the Canon 100D 1080 mov footage is quite demanding and your FCP X prone to freeze or crash if your Mac is not so up-to-date.

In order to process Canon EOS Rebel SL1 footage fast and seamless with Final Cut Pro X, it requires that the H.264 .mov videos to be transcoded into an editing friendly format before importing the mov video from 100D to FCP X. This is usually done with a Mac HD Video Converter.

If there is camcorder to sway the pro away from the larger models as used in "run and gun"shooting for current affairs, short documentaries or films etc, then at the moment this is it.

All the necessaries are there; top lens, manual programmable focus ring, face detection, manual or auto controls for contrast, shutter speed etc and of course superb imaging. And for future proofing, the HC-X920 also supports the optional 3D lens.

Recordings:

Panasonic HC-X920M can provide us 1080p Full HD. We live in Australia - so we are PAL.
