  a camcorder, we can only play them on TV sets.
  But now, things changed greatly. Except for
  playing the recorded videos on TV, DVD, Blu-ray
  player or PC, we can also polish the video clips
  by using professional video editing software such
  as iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas, etc.
  Besides, we can also upload the videos to YouTube
  and other websites for sharing after doing the
  editing. Doesn't it sound cool?

• According to the latest record from Amazon, Sony
  PMW-F5 is enjoying the fastest-growing sales in
  the first quarter of 2013. It surprised no one
  since we all know that PMW-F5 has got splendid
  features and stunning capability of shooting HD
  videos. In spite of this, we will keep on hearing
  users asking question about how to transfer Sony
  PMW-F5 to FCP or convert PMW-F5 to iMovie for
  extension editing. The reason is that PMW-F5
  shoots videos in the newest XAVC format which
  supports 4K resolution (40962160 and 38402160).
  Most professional editors including FCP, iMovie
  and Sony Vegas cannot support the XAVC footages
  at all. Therefore, in order to convert XAVC to
  FCP smoothly, it is recommended to use Doremisoft
  XAVC to FCP Video Converter for Mac to make XAVC
  acceptable.
