Has the ZR500 gotten rid of any remaining problems between the ZR series and Final Cut / iMovie? I'll admit I haven't used many of the newer ZR series cameras, but the older ones made me want to cut my eyes out when trying to make them play nice with FCP. If Verdi's using one, I guess it must

the canon ZR 500 ROCKS! it's super cheap and has an external mic jack. shoots in 4:3 and 16:9 and it could almost fit in your pocket i think it's like 230$ on amazon. verdi and chris ritke both have it. http://astore.amazon.com/freevlog-20/detail/B000DZH4CO/104-9828449-9809565 On 1/29/07, RODLI
