Sony's new HD Camcorder supported in iMovie 08

Sony is usually first to market with ground-breaking technology—Walkman, Trinitron, CD players, HDV camcorders--you know the drill. The company, along with Panasonic, created the newer AVCHD high-def camcorder format. Those camcorders respectively recorded high-def video onto 3-inch DVDs and hard disk drives.  Now Sony has finally introduced a flash HD cam but instead of SD cards like the Panasonic, this one use Memory Stick Pro Duo media. Because there are so few moving parts, the HDR-CX7 is also as compact as can be (under a pound including battery). And it’s a beauty. Featuring a 3MP CMOS sensor, a 10x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. 

Add to these great specs that the new iMovie 08 supports this new format in full HD 1080i.  This one looks like a winner to me.
