Get Canon C100 AVCHD MTS Editable in FCP/iMovie/FCE
Canon C100 was a new camcorder announced in August 23,2012, compared with its brother C300, C500, this C100 is much cheaper and the output workflow is also very good.

Key features:
1080p 24Mbps up to 30p AVCHD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec,
4:2:0, 15% smaller than the C300, EF mount version only,
locking HDMI out, Canon Log Gamma, Records to dual SD Cards
can also output uncompressed digital HD to an external recorder

Such a camcorder cost about $7,999 , while the C300, $15999 and the top-end C500 ,$30000. I think it will put a noticeable dent in the use of mid- to upper- range HDSLRs for video production.
