Looks like everything from 2009 and current is supported according to this:

"Better" is subjectives and depends on your needs. This question cannot be answered.
/stockholder hat: Yes it is much better. You should abandoned Adobe and all non-Apple software and switch to Final Cut X. it is AWESOME you there is no chance you won't be completely happy.
There is no upgrade pricing. It is available only on the Mac App Store for one price ($299) which you can install on the macs you own (i.e. using the same AppleID).
DIfferent codec/compression?
Also, this is additional content. It doesn't say how much content is with the base Motion package.
Any 3rd party training available yet? This version is supposedly very different from FCP7 and prior versions.
Could be a massive bug missed, or perhaps a feature...

Looks very mouse heavy
Most of my editors rely heavily on keystrokes for marking ins and outs and cutting in the timeline when using NLEs. I'm really curious to see how these commands are handled in FCPX. The videos make it look very mouse heavy which will not be a thrill to editors.

Yea, so I saw that it keeps mentioning 3D. I'm confused if that is like 2D and 3D in the sense that Keynote has 2D and 3D affects as well or if they are talking about true 3D?
Also, I guess if you cannot export out as 3D, then it becomes semi moot option
Seriously???? I see this being a big headache for current projects.......I probably should've waited to buy.
Bugger me sideways! Glad I finished off my current project in my age-old FCP rather than waiting for this new one. But a shame I can't polish it off in FCPX.
I hope someone finds a way around that.
Yep, tell me about it. I suppose it won't be an issue in a few months, but for now, I'm a bit frustrated.

Can you run FCPX and FCP7 at the same time?
I haven't found anything anywhere suggesting you can run FCPX and FCP7 at the same time? Can any of you "early adopters" answer that question?

Minimal Nikon Support?
So the Nikon D90 is listed in the FCP X support database, but not the D7000? What gives? I assume I will have to continue to convert all my footage to Pro-Res HQ like always. The D7000 is a pretty popular model, a direct import/conversion feature would really make my life easier! O well

It's not the end of the world obviously, just inconvenient at the moment. You still have fcp7 so you can finish off those jobs and start new ones in fcpx.
But good to hear there may be something coming soon to solve the issue. Thanks for the info!

Unless you've tried it, I wouldn't take an exclusion from the list as a lack of support. Many cams share the same format systems and I would be just as surprised as you if the D7000 didn't work.
If I had to guess, I would say yes. But if my living depended on it, I would double-check.
I'm in a similar situation checking compatibility for my still camera (Panasonic DMC-GF1). It lists compatibility with the DMC-G3 and the DMC-GH2 which are somewhat similar (and the format is the same) so I'd assume so...maybe they don't have time to look at every single camera model out there
