Mac Join Panasonic G10 AVCHD Lite Files to ProRes/AIC for Final Cut/iMovie on iMac/MacBook Pro

The Panasonic Lumix DMC G10 is described by Panasonic as a micro system camera. It has a relatively small body size, but can accept interchangeable lenses in the same way a Digital SLR can. It also has a set of advanced features similar to those you would expect to find on a Digital SLR. Key features include 12 megapixels, a 3 inch LCD screen and a viewfinder. The viewfinder has dioptre correction for adjusting the focus of the viewfinder to suit your eyesight.
