After being a life-long PC user - I have taken the plunge to Mac. I absolutely love it! I am expecting a baby in January and need to get a camcorder. I have read several threads with many suggestions. While I thought MiniDV was outdated - it seems this may be the easiest way to edit/transfer. I am partial to hard drive and would love to get an HD camcorder, however I am worried about playback. I don't have a HD or Blueray DVD player - also - will it sync correctly with the new Intel Imac. The next question is the hardest - which camcorder do I get? I'm not opposed to spending a huge chunk of change as long as I feel I am getting more bang for my buck. I'm looking for something that is easy to use because my wife will also be editing/uploading with our new Mac. Any suggestions are welcome - please help!
