JVC Enverio MG505

This may be the wrong place to post - (I'm new) but has anyone worked with Final Cut with the new tapeless JVC Everio MG505? It's the tapeless camcorder that uses a hard drive. It retails for about $1,300 so I'm sure it's not the quality for most of you, but I'm just a home video guy shooting family stuff.

It seems like a good way to go, but I'd like to read comments before plunking down any cash.

Thanks in advance for whatever comments.

I'd stay away from it from everything i've read here and elsewhere.

Kinda similar to the DVD camcorders - you will have issues with file formats etc.

And with all of these 'new' devices, the prices of dv cameras have dropped HEAPS - at least here in Australia.

For low end family stuff, I'd still stick with a bog standard Canon miniDV
