If you watch the new Apple media event Steve Jobs plugs the Panasonic HDC-SD1 video cam and said it's fully supported by the new iMovie. I did some research and it looks like an excellent cam at an excellent price (with a newer version coming out next month)
I was just curious, when Steve Jobs said iMovie supports it, how do you get the footage from the cam or the SD card? There is no Firewire connection. Does it require special software, or will you connect the cam to the Mac via USB 2.0 and the SD card will appear like a mounted drive which you can drag the footage straight off and into iMovie?
