Great Digital Video Camera That Goes Well With Mac?

I'm a college student and highly considering spoiling myself for a macbook. I need a new laptop anyways. I love what the mac can do and am focused on the editing softwares that come with iLife. I love taking photos so i know that would be a bonus. I have a digital camera already.

The movie editing and dvd burning is what excites me.

I edited my homemade movies on my windows movie maker with a little dv camera but the quality was horrible.

Im asking you for recommendations on a great dv camera (under $1000) which fits well with a mac in all aspects, editing, filming, etc.

My goal is to be able to film great movies and edit them beautifully and burn them onto dvd's.

Any information overall will help. Thanks!

The Mac with work great with all the mini-dv camcorders thru the firewire connection. Here's camcorderinfo.com's list of best camcorders for 2006:

I would suggest one of the HD video models, though you'll have to increase your budget by a few hundred dollars.

I got to say iMovie that came with iLife is better than Windows movie maker but they're not that great. So, if you have high expectation from it, you're going to be disappointed If you are very serious about filming and editing movie, your best bet is to treat yourself with a MacBook Pro and get a copy of the FinalCut Pro or at least the FinalCut Express. And for the choice of video camcorder, Sony should be your first choice follow by Canon.

Any camera with firewire conection (digital) mini DV 3ccd if its posible

if you want a good digital video camera, i have a mac and i use mine that i brought from here on it, their cheap as too.
