I've read most of the threads here concerning HDD camcorders and I understand that the mpeg2 is not iMovie compatible without a conversion to mpeg4. That said, I'm intrigued by these HDD cams and I want to purchase a decent unit, just to get my feet we with this burgeoning platform.
The two players I can find in this arena are Sony and JVC. I'm leaning toward the Sony, basically on reputation alone, but the JVC does offer Mac-compatible editing software called Capty. It's unclear if it's included or an extra but it's porbably no where near the quality of iMovie.
Two models for my primary consideration are the Sony DCR-SR60:

and the JVC GZ-MG57:

I value the opinions on these forums as much, if not more, than the numerous tech editors scattered about the net. That said, I would appreciate some feedback if anyone owns either of these two models , or another HDD-based camcorder that they like/dislike. Thank you in advance for your time.
