Hi Gary,

A few more tips, most modern cameras o, but it's better to have one that can take input from firewire as well as output on firewire to your mac. This allows you to archive your edited films onto miniDV tape. The low end sony camera used to do output from the camera only but i suspect this has changed now.

Also, if you want to get into playing with video, you tend to use up HD space pretty quickly. I invested in a relatively cheap external HD to use as a scratch disc for video and it worked pretty well, though that was on Final Cut not iMovie so you may not need one.

Let us know which camera you are considering.
