I just got my Canon HF10 yesterday and it is a cool little device. I have a couple of question regarding editing the HD content.

When you import video from the HF10 into iMovie I believe it converts to a different format so it can be edited. My question is when you export footage from iMovie how can you preserve the quality like if I film in cinemode and 24fps? Do I export to .mpv/h.264 so it will play in Quicktime? Will the quality be preserved? I want to be able to preserve as much of the HD quality after it is edited. The import portion is easy enough to understand but I want to be sure on how to export so I have a HD file.
 
I want to know this, too. I'm getting a Mac soon and I have the Canon HF 100.
When will Macs support native AVCHD like Sone Vegas Pro?
