Hi Ben,
have already worked often with material from this camera,
only good experiences with LUT and AMA, performance and CC.

What I really always do, is to remind the crew of the copy process :
They have to copy the whole card over to keep file structure intact - then AMAlinking works wonderful well.
So many filmmakers think this is "something they can do themselves" and then only grab the clips.. Then all metadata is lost.. Also saw too many people poking deep into the folders trying to dig down to the clips, linking one at a time, really horryfing

You'll find the AMA plug in here - point the source browser to the topmost folder, then Avid looks inside and it works

(and much more, Canon has a really good software download page!)

When they use fast CFcards (instead of SDcards) they can record several flavours of AVC-intra, some of them you can consolidate, fast as copy process..

Here are the specs
