Since we don't know your mac specs I have to ask...does your Mac have an SD slot ?

I believe that if you connect your SD card or your camera itself, you can slide the capture/edit slider (not the real name, I know) to capture and your camera should appear as a source.

I shoot HD video on my Pana Lumix FZ28 and import automatically into iPhoto from the SD card. From there I can import to iMovie, or skip that and import directly into iMovie from the card. You just have to pick the resolution and format you want to import it as.

Just a stupid kid with a computer, so take my advice with a grain of salt if that makes a difference to you.
