Sony NEX-FS700 can shoot full 1080p video in a range of frame rates up to 60p, it provides the option of recording AVCHD footage onto SD card/MemoryStick or via the FMU (flash memory unit) port, or it can output 4:2:2 video (with embedded timecode) via HDMI 1.4 or 3G/HD-SDI to an external recording unit. It is a fully professional large-sensor video camera. Hot on the heels of the FS100, this compact, highly modular camera uses a very similar-sized Super 35 CMOS sensor as the Sony NEX-FS100.
It is a pity that 1920 x 1080/60p AVCHD MTS/M2TS full recordings from Sony FS700 can’t be edited by Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X directly via Mac. If you are the Sony NEX-FS700 users and get in the AVCHD to FCP importing troubles, please follow me and I will give you an easy way to help you convert Sony NEX-FS700 1080p MTS videos to editable format and see Sony NEX-FS700 clips in FCP 6/7 or FCP X 10.0.3 on Mac OS X.

Tips:
- If you are also a FCP X user, before you try to do the conversion, don’t forget to make sure that you have installed the Apple ProRes Codec manually since the FCP X asks users to install it by themselves.
- If you want to edit AVCHD MTS in iMovie, you just need to choose the AIC format in the second step.
- If you want to batch conversion, the professional iMedia Converter for Mac is the best choice for you.
