I'm buying a camcorder. I'm not sure what to get. I'm thinking about a Flip Video MinoHD. It's gotten great reviews. Will it work well with a Mac and iMovie? Should i get a different camcorder? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I too was thinking about getting the flip mino until i found out my gf is buying me the blackberry storm (YaY! Cant WaiT!) Anyways, if you are just going to use it with youtube, your better off just getting the Flip Mino (not HD) because you will basically get the same quality without paying the extra $100. The flip mino does work very nicely with imovie and it is incredibly easy to upload your videos. I highly recommend buying this product.

There are better services than youtube that allow for HD.
