Has Apple updated it's list of compatible video cameras to i-movie to include Sony HDR - CX 130E using OS X lion, the laatest info I have read is dated 2011
I suspect that camera is the same as the Sony HDR CX130E. That camera is on the supported list, but will not import in 60P mode.

Thanks Appleman,
Yes it does support this camera, in a fashion, although not in 1080-50p (their numbers ) although you state 60p
50p- 60p still does not fully support this camera, which I queried before purchase, from both Apple agent, and Sony sales.
I guess I'll have to read the manual again, to see exactly what I should record in to enable me to transfer video into OS X Lion and i-movie.
For what reason does it not support the queried quality, and has it got any plans to do so in the near future ?
This is a user to user forum, so nobody here knows what Apple might do in the future.
Final Cut Pro X already supports 50P/60P, but it will not import directly from camera. But if you have a 50P or 60P QuickTime file, you can edit it.
Here is a blog post of how to edit 50P in iMovie. I have not personally tried it. http://ianperegian.com/My_FZ35_38_Webpage/Edit_1080_50p_and_burn_a_disk.html
Hi AppleMan1958
Visited the said web address, but I'm afraid I'm no computer geek, I was lost after the first sentance, but I have a copy of so I will try again to try and digest.
Thanks a lot for your assistance
