I was wondering if there were any thoughts about the new iMac for editing 720/1080 HD video from say an iPhone 5 or Canon Power Shot camera. The drive speed is now only 5400 RPM in the 21.5" model. I was curious if the the combo SSD/5400 RPM HDD had the same editing power as as a 7200 RPM drive.

It should be fine, but I don't know anyone who actually has one yet.

Thanks - been waiting for more replies and I'm surprised how few opinions there are about the fusion drive and video editing. I guess it's partly because it's only out currently with the Mac Mini.
If you really want to get into the weeds on the Fusion Drive there is a really good analysis in Ars Technica.
Thanks, I've read it, well I should say I've tried to read it. Somewhat over my head, but not totally. I'm just curious if some of the video editing tasks would be done on the HDD or faster SSD drive. I'll have to go back to the article and see if there is any mention of that type of task.
I'm a little disappointed that you need to move up to the 27" iMac to get a 7200 RPM Fusion Drive. Do not need a 27" desktop.
Any Thoughts on New iMac Fusion Drive for Editing Video
