It's a common complaint and I doubt the complaints will end.
-> I wonder if you expect camcorder makers to stop innovating?
Or supply free software?

I recently purchased the Sony NX30U Video Camera and was extremely surprised and disappointed to learn that my Final Cut Pro 6 (and possibly 7) CANNOT import the AVCHD files from this camera. It is just impossible to Log and Transfer the files from this camera in any way, shape, or form. There are no "work arounds" for this problem. Therefore I will have to upgrade my OS, then purchase new FCPX software plus a new video card just so I will be able to import and edit video from this camera. No mention of this problem in any Sony literature and no help from Sony on this problem at all. This is the 6th professional Sony Video Camera my company has purchased in the past 12 years - and my last.
