Yep based on the specs and the age I would suggest getting a different camera for a new project. A 3 year old camera design is a bit of an eternity in terms of how quickly these things improve. A Sony A7s, GoPro Hero 4 Black, Panasonic GH4, etc. A lot of better options for HD and up while still maintaining a reasonably small form factor.
I’d think the stills you’ll get out of the RX100 will be a lot better than the video. Heck even a new iPhone 6 Plus, iPad (or the Android equilvalent if you’re not an fan) would likely shoot better video than the Sony. More on that option here:

“It’s about 50i I write not really – because it shoots i p, and then it’s encoded.”
I don’t quite get what you mean by that but I would suggest testing both modes and checking the results on a proper broadcast monitor- i.e. not just in FCPX.
Based on the specs you wrote I would recommend the 50p because it has the highest bitrate. De-interlacing footage in post generally produces objectionable motion artifacts and wastes a generation of quality.

Why do you say ‘not really’ about the 50p mode? I’d go for that considering it has the highest bitrate.

There’s no best way- if there were it’d be baked into the app. Experiment…

Depends on your system specs- experiment and see how it goes. Once you zoom past 100% on a still you will lose some quality.

Yep it’s lovely if you need 3D logos and text- great way to go. Demands a lot of horsepower from your GPU however.

Kind of impossible to say from here. Sounds like a bit of a mess of formats. To be honest I wouldn’t worry about perfection in the frames as it sounds like this is not a paid/mission critical gig. Try an export and see how it looks.

Sure doesn’t seem like the move of a company looking to do away with Pro Apps…

Are you sure the timeline timebase matches that of the clips?

Shoot me a note through the site on my sig- we might be able to cook up something custom involving a MAM that would let you work a little ‘backwards’ per se.
