I'm looking at buying a cheap (under $200) video camera and am wondering what I need to watch out for as far as compatibility with iMovie 08. I realize that iMovie can probably import just about any file format that current cameras use, but there may be some complications. Here's why. I want to be able to use an external microphone with the camera, and since none of the inexpensive cameras have an external mike input anymore, it means that I'll likely have to send live video from the camera to iMovie, and simultaneously live sound from an external mike to the sound input on my Mac. Am I overcomplicating things?
