I want a HD 1080i video camcorder that I can film Action Sports with and has a handle on it. I also want to be able to upload the footage on the camcorder to my MAC computer and edit in final cut pro with out loosing any of the quality! I would like it to have an hour and a half of film space on it at least thanks and if possible 100fps!

The only ones that come close are the HDR-HC9 and Canon HV40. They do not have 100 fps video capture. Record time depends on the miniDV tapes you use – a standard 60 minute tape saves 63 minutes of HDV format video. I would not suggest any high definition flash memory, hard disc drive or DVD based consumer camcorders because they all save to very compressed AVCHD format. AVCHD compression and fast action do not get along well.

Handles (Scorpion, GlideCam StuntBar, Opteka X-Grip) are sold separately.

Unless you can afford to move up to a Sony HDR-FX7 or HDR-FX1000… or Canon XHA1…

And this assumes your Mac is NOT a MacBook Air or one of the versions of MacBook with no firewire port. The computer must have a firewire port to import HDV format video.

If your Mac has no firewire port, then the Canon HF S200, Sony HDR CX500 series and JVC GY-HM100…
