At OSNews we are committed on being geeky. However, "being a geek" does not always constitute a person who just loves technology. There are geeks about literature (who do you think wrote "Shrek"?), and of course, art geeks. This last kind enjoys a new booming lately with the commoditization of HD camcorders. The following editorial includes suggestions on camera choices, video editors and delivery formats, and has HD video samples of hobbyist cameramen that many professionals could be jealous of.

Apple supports all DV, HDV and AVCHD cameras, so there is not a problem of compatibility. That's why standards exist.
As for the RED, it's a nice camera, but it's a pro camera, even Indies can't easily touch it at $25000 (the base costs $17000, but you need extra stuff). The only NLE that supports the RED I think it's FCP so far -- Apple has been an investor to the company too AFAIK.

Well, I still can't understand how one would know whether some camera would me Mac/iMovie compatible or not when purchasing. Apple used to have a list which is no longer there and the manufacturers seem to avoid that subject as well.
Could anyone suggest a list of HD cameras that are known to work well with iMovie?
PS Anyone else drooling over RED cameras? http://www.red.com
