In the middle ground between DSLRs and point-and-shoot lies a vast plain filled with all manner of tweener cameras, in all variants of shape, size, price, and quality. Until now, no one has nailed the whole package, but so far the smartest middle ground — smaller body and price, but without losing too much quality or manual control — has been Sony's NEX line.

The NEX-5N and NEX-C3 are excellent cameras, with big sensors in small bodies, but the NEX-7 is the flagship member of the line. The $1,349 shooter has a DSLR-sized, 24.3-megapixel APS-C sensor, a built-in electronic viewfinder, a tilting LCD, 1080p video recording, and a solid set of manual controls. It's built to run with the big dogs, and priced like it too — can it keep up? And could you actually buy the NEX-7 instead of a DSLR?

For many experienced Mac users, what they are concerned most is how does the Sony NEX-7 mts files work with Mac. As for NEX-7, you will get all kinds of options when shooting video: it can record in 1080p and 1080i at 60 frames per second, or 1080p at 24fps. You can shoot in AVCHD or MP4, though MP4 video is an odd 1440 x 1080 resolution. You can also shoot video in a variety of different manual modes, meaning you can change shutter speed, aperture, and the like both before and during video recording.

Encode/Render Canon T3i .mov files to Prores 422 for Final Cut Pro 7

Q1: Ok I'm really interested in buying the Canon T3i beacuse it has great video quality and its fairly cheap....I'm a newbie to FCP and shoot videos with a Canon Rebel T3i. Obviously, I can copy the .mov files from the SD card to my Mac and edit in Final Cut Pro 7, but it's a bear (slow rendering time and whatnot) and I'm never impressed with the video quality output once I'm done rendering. The files are 1280x720 format, 60 fps. How to import without rending? Any compressor to convert my files to a more FCP-friendly file?

Q2: Canon T3i is perfect and I'd rent one for a wedding, and I am stuck with working with Final Cut Pro 7. Cause as it stands now any time i go to Log and Transfer and try to import files i get messages like FCP doesn't recognize format or something like that. What I'm wondering is their a program out there that can convert the video files of a T3i to a file format that can be read in Final Cut Pro 7.
