Avid and Sony HVR-Z7E

I have been so lucky to have 5 minutes with the new sony HVR-Z7E camera, and what a beauty, As alwyas when it comes from SAony the buttons are placed where you need them. But the reason for trying the camera was to see if the format it is recording in, could easily be imported into avid.
So the first thing was to take te files from the CF card, and import into Avid.
I started up my Media composer version 2.8, and said Import, and found one of the .m2t files.
The clip gets converted, into DNxHD and the clip I played with was 30 seconds, and it took around 5 sec. on a standard maschine.
There was no problem with editing so it seems that the workflow is easy, I will try to borrow the camera for a longer time to test more.
