Century Optics (aka Schneider) produce a series of wide adaptors incl fisheye. They work like a charm. Expensive though and some of them very heavy. But great to work with.

You should use Sony’s XDCAM BROWSER software to transfer your clips. That’s the only way your copied clips will become “real” xdcam hd files.

Using Avid MediaComposer software and its AMA linking capability you can edit XDCAM EX video without any import or transcoding. You insert the SxS card and start editing immediately.
