I am wanting to do some video editing (30 to 45 minute shows) I have always thought of Apple's of being the best for Video Editing. I could be wrong. I am currently a PC user, but have been wanting to upgrade to an Apple because of virus, ect. But I just want a the best possible solution to be able to do what I have planned. Learning curve is no big deal for me, since I am pretty good with technology. Here is my budget: PC $1,400 Camcorder: $1,000 Software: $200 I am looking at the current $1,200 iMac with an extra 4GB of Ram for a total of 8GB Here is the camera I am looking at: http://camcorder.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028615&pathId=171&page=10 a JVC Everio GZ-HM550BUS and Final Cut Express 4 I have no experience with any other software, so it will all be new to me no matter what, but I am a quick learner. The reason I ask is because, I really know nothing about buying the best possible combination. I need some opinions or comments to help me make the right consumer decision.
