I just made the switch to Mac and am interested in getting a camcorder (my wife and I are expecting our first child). The problem is, I have no experience with video camcorders or editing. I want to be able to take indoor/outdoor video of decent quality and be able to do basic editing. I'm looking to spend $400-600.
First, is there a particular format that works better with a Mac (miniDV, DVD, HDD, etc)?
Second, are there any particular camcorders you would recommend?
I know these questions are pretty broad, but I'm having difficulty getting any answers (folks at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc were clueless).
Thanks in advance.
