I thought of including your specs listed above and performing a Google search, but frankly, I just don't know how to say it. The best I could find was the Canon HV20 (MiniDV cam). I'm not entirely sure if it has Firewire input - one of the most highly overlooked features (from both review articles and camera manufacturers). It doesn't have A/V input either. And for all of this, I'd certainly recommend purchasing a second camcorder (such as a cheap JVC Everio - most of them have A/V Input). If you can bare the fact of a used camcorder, I would certainly go for it. There are currently several HV30s selling on eBay in the $400 - $600 price range. An Everio is defintely a lot cheaper. You may also need to do a little research to make sure it has A/V input. <a href="http://photography.shop.ebay.com/Camcorders-/11724/i.html?_nkw=Canon+HV20&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282">http://photography.shop.ebay.com/Camcorders-/11724/i.html?_nkw=Canon+HV20&_catref=1&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282</a> bythecshore on "Looking for new camcorder, intermediate, use with FCE" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/looking-for-new-camcorder-intermediate-use-with-fce#post-51305 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:32:48 +0000 bythecshore 51305@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I am looking for a new camcorder and would appreciate people's short recommended lists, according to these requirements: 1. Video must be editable in FCE (Final Cut Express) 2. Video must be editable on my iMac 2.46 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 3. Cost less than $750 4. Jacks; Ext. mike input, Firewire input, headphone jack 5. AV input so I can input from old 8mm camcorders I loved my now-broken Canon Optura 20 and would like something in that range, but capable of 16:9 output to fit today's screens. However, it doesn't have to shoot super HD or anything; most of my videos are posted to MobileMe these days. The Canon's quality was fine for what I need to shoot, which is mainly family videos. I like DV tapes for storage but would consider SD cards or other removable media. Thanks in advance for your ideas, lists!
