Why our users love Sony WX500 camera so much?

Like the HX90, the WX500 is designed to meet the requirements of novice photographers and offers a collection of automatic shooting options, but there are also exposure modes to suit more experienced photographers: shutter priority, aperture priority and manual. Videos, however, can be shot in Full-HD at 8 bit and 4:2:0 at up to 50Mbps in AVCHD, MP4 or the new XAVC S format at 50/60p.

Causes of XAVC S files cannot be suitable for Premiere Pro CC/CS?

Granted, Premiere Pro CC/CS can handle (usually) 4K XAVC S files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. Thankfully you probably don't have to buy a new computer, but you do need to convert XAVC S to Adobe Premiere Pro using MPEG-2 (1080p) as primary delivery format (Native support formats by Adobe Premiere). As same as the issues appeared in other NLEs like FCP, iMovie, FCE, After Effects, Avid Media Composer, etc.,
