Sony NEX-VG900 is a full frame E-Mount camcorder, attach an APS-C lens onto it, and it will shoot in cropped mode. Attach a full frame lens (we tested a Leica 35mm f2 that Jim from PCMag brought along) and you’ll be able to shoot in full frame mode without any problem. I really didn’t get a lot of time with the camcorder, but I absolutely do have to say that if anyone in the camcorder industry is going to take this seriously, it may very well be the news shooters. This isn’t a cinema camcorder because the codec is still AVCHD.

Sony VG900 camcorder records AVCHD format videos, and it uses MPEG-4/H.264 codec, this codec is not good for editing in iMovie. So the VG900 users will meet a serious problem that while they are trying to imput recordings from Sony NEX-VG900 to iMovie for further editing. Well, how to solve the problem?

As we all know, the best format for iMovie is Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC)(*.mov), so first we need to solve is to find a professional AVCHD to iMovie Converter for mac which is a simple tool that can help you convert Sony VG900 AVCHD 60P files to AIC.
