Not sure about the camera, but I was watching that gadget show on channel 5 a while ago and they said windows movie maker is pretty poor, and they recommended the one included with apple's as easy to use and good.

At least thats how I think it went.

Also I'd recommend firewire, but USB 2.0 is also pretty fast, but theres something about firewire that makes it better for video? I think?

I'd check the battery life before you decide on getting anouther battery, but I have one with my digi cam, and its good because you can carry the spare around with you and not have to worry about the battery being low or whatever.

Id recommend getting a case with it, with a neck strap? Though most seem to come with them?

Hope you have good luck with getting a decent camcorder.
