A Writer Asks... How's the JVC GY-HM100U Camera?

ali wrote with the following question:

I want to ask you for info on a specific camera- not sure if youve tried it out but i cant get an honest answer from a sales guy so id thought id try here. the model is gy-hm100u it is a jvc hd cam that records on sd card and it is made to drop and drag files directly onto apple final cut pro. I was wondering if the camera would be still compatable with adobe and if it would be difficult to transfer video to a pc. if anyone knows about this and has any advice please let me know. I dont want to buy something that will be too expensive and doesnt work well with my pc.

Anyone know about this camera?

I own the camera. And it's big brother the HM700. But I don't know
anything about Premiere. The camera records to Quicktimes .MP4

I looked at the Premiere web site and it says you can use Final Cut
Pro XML interchange to transfer projects directly from Final Cut Pro
to Adobe Premiere Pro without conversion or rerendering, preserving
commonly used effects and transitions. That leads me to believe you
can use .MP4.

I know the camera, you know the software. Does Premiere support
that codec?
