I wonder because I´m about to buy a new camera, because the one I have (Canon Legria HFR 106) doesn´t work properly with Imovie even though it is posted as supported camera on Apple´s website.I need someone to confirm that they are using Sony / HDR-CX550V (PAL) and thatthey don´t have any issues using it with Imovie. I would hate to spend a lot of money (again)"
