HD Camcorder Compatible with Mac?

I am planning on purchasing a MacBook. I am also planning on purchasing an HD Camcorder, and I want to make sure that it will be compatible with Mac Software. I have read that when transfering videos onto a Mac, sometimes video quality is lost.

Does anyone know if this is true, or if there is any way I can avoid losing quality. Are there any particular camera makes/models that are better for Macs?

Most any of the newer HD camcorders should work fine with iMovie. Any of them listed here will work.

Thank you very much for the reply. Does this all still apply to a Hard Drive Camcorder, or will there be more restrictions?

What do you mean by a 'Hard Drive Camcorder?' What brand/model?
