I have heard very good things about the Panasonic GS320. I haven't tried any of the hard drive camcorders with iMovie. Does iMovie work well with the video compression the camera use for recording? I assume iMovie would work with all these hard drive camcorders. Also, even though FireWire 400 is being grandfathered like USB 1.1, there are FireWire 400>800 adapters available for $15 which will work with any new mac.

What i am looking for is a camcorder with firewire that i can plug into a mac and have imovie import the video without any fussin' around. I now have a short list of available cameras Panasonic PV-GS320 Sony DCR-TRV10 Sony DCR-HC21 Sony DCR-TRV19 would appreciate hearing from anyone who has mac experience with these camcorders. thanks gord --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi> --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
