Q: Video Camera that is FCE friendly?

I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG37U. It records using .mod files.

Can anyone recommend a video camera that works well within iMovie and exports to Final Cut Express well?

Currently mine will import to iMovie just fine, but when exported to FCE all the pictures and video is zoomed in (ie: picture or video of girls face is zoomed into her nose).

Thanks,

Phil

A:
Although it is possible, it is not a good idea to capture in iMovie and transfer it to FCE.

You should stick to one or the other.

Regarding cameras for FCE, any tape-based DV or HDV camera will be fine. AVCHD cameras using memory cards etc. will also work with FCE 4.
