The NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20, NEX-VG30 are the most popular Interchangeable Lens HD Camcorders from Sony. They all can record richly-detailed, film-like AVCHD Progressive footage with breathtaking quality. However, the full HD output uses AVCHD Progressive technology, which may cause some incompatible troubles. Thus, there comes a common confusion: how to import Sony 1080 60p AVCHD to iMovie.
