<br/>
<br/>Panasonic HC-V720, HC-V520 camcorders are coming. The
HC-V720 (specs) is a little lower in the lineup, but offers
similar functionality with a new 50x optical zoom lens, optical
image stabilization, built-in WiFi, 20.4-megapixel still picture
capture, and a 3-inch touchscreen LCD. The V720 also allows for
plug and copy HDD recording and uses near-field communication for
easy control utilizing a smartphone.
<br/>
<br/>The V520 features a 50x optical zoom lens, built-in WiFi,
5-axis optical image stabilization, near-field communication for
smartphone integration, and the Level Shot functionality. The
V520’s sensor is slightly different, however, offering just
10-megapixel still image capture.
<br/>
<br/>Are you planning to get one? But some users are afraid of
that Mac softwares, including iMovie, FCP and FCE, can't work
well with V720 and V520 recorded HD videos. For example "<b>I’m
considering Panasonic HC-V720, or HC-V520, or even HC-V110;
while, I've heard that getting video from a Panasonic camcorder
onto a computer, in particular a Mac, is much of a hassle.
...just how much of an effort is this going to be? Will iMovie
suffice for editing, or should I ditch my MacBook and upgrade and
thrust way too much money in Apple's direction for Final Cut?</b>"
<br/>
<br/>You don't worry about it. V720 and V520 recorded video file
is AVCHD .mts format, most Mac users can play it. If your Mac
computer can't support Panasonic HC-V720/HC-V520 well, you can
use a professional <b><a
