Put Canon EOS C100 AVCHD footages in iMovie'11 without quality loss

Canon already gave those looking for a full-frame DSLR plenty to think about recently, and now it's stirring up the movie-maker's pot. It's just announced a new member to its EOS digital cinema collection -- the EOS C100 -- and given us a better idea of when we can expect that C500 to land. The C100 essentially offers a new prospect for those with pockets not quite so deep. Unlike its 4K sibling, the C100 offers 1,920 x 1,080 AVCHD via its Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor, has an ISO range of 320 to 20,000 and sports the EF mount system. Other features of interest include a push auto iris function, one-shot auto focus, a multi-angle 3.5-inch LCD and a locking HDMI output.

The Advantages of Canon EOS C100:
Professional quality and flexibility for single shooters
First-class camera system
Easy operation for single users
Professional design, professional audio
EF lenses and EF Cinema Lenses – power to create

For the record, my C300 is easily the best camera I own. Its images always blow me away and its handling and form factor are just superb. But the most terrible thing is that when I imput these cilps to iMovie, I got the error message directly. Why? I am eager to editing in iMovie further. Is there anyone here can help me? Thanks in advance.
