With regard to the compatibility with the most
popular Apple FCP, AVCHD codec should be converted to Apple
Intermediate codes or ProRes422.
When converted to Apple Intermediate
codec,
the picture quality will be deteriorated
significantly due to multiple decode/re-encode
processes.
While converted to ProRes422, the picture quality
may be maintained. But, due to its compression
format,
the file size will be increased about 7 times and it
will take so much time to be transcoded.
On the other hand, Avid Media Composer has not
supported AVCHD codec yet.
To ingest files to Media Composer, AVCHD should be converted to
DVCPROHD by the optional Main Concept
plug-in.

Adobe Premiere and Canopus Edius are supporting the
native AVCHD codec.
With these NLE system, first file and next file
recorded by GY-HM100 are continuous even after automatic
separation. (Automatic file separation is due to the specifications
of file system (FAT) for both GY-HM100 and
AG-HMC150)
But, few frames might be dropped between files
recorded by AG-HMC150.
Therefore, continuous recording without pause over
the maximum file size for AG-HMC150 is useless even with these NLE
system supporting AVCHD codec natively

While both cameras employee the same spatial offset
technology,
AG-HMC150 resolution is significantly decreased due
to less pixels (960x540 pixels)
count.
GY-HM100 looks more crisp even with smaller chip
set.

SD card can be used for AG-HMC150. But, the maximum
recording time by SD card is very limited (about 22 minutes for 2GB
card at 21Mbps) due to the card file capacity (up to
2GB).
One card slot limitation for AG-HMC150 will worry
camera operators about the replacement timing of cards. But,
GY-HM100 is affordable for the replacement, being able to hot-swap
out the first card while still shooting to the
second.
