Power Mac - Exploring the possibility

As of late I've been considering buying a used late model G5 off of eBay and maxing out the features to the best of my ability and finances. If I did this, would the G5 handle HDV editing alright? I've been wanting a Canon XH A1 HDV camcorder for some time now and would need something suitable for editing... my PowerBook G4 just wouldn't suffice and of course I can't afford a Mac Pro. So this is my possible solution. Would it work? How high can things be upgraded?

Yes, it would handle it fine.

That is what Power Macs are designed for, it will most certainly be alright.

Yeah I figured as much. I just couldn't remember if HDV hit it big before or after Power Macs. Thanks!
