What is the best camcorder compatible w/ Apple Mini Mac?

Question

I'm looking for a decent camcorder. I have an Apple Mini Mac so it must be compatible. I don't want to spend more than $300.00. I just want to make videos for friends, family, myself, for Youtube & such.

Answer 1

Canon ZR800, 900, 930.

MiniDV tape provides best available video quality (least compression);

mic-in jack for improved audio (as compared to the built-in mics);

Use a 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable.

iMovieHD (any version) will import and edit and export to whatever format you want to do.
