Horney's got a Canon 400D IIRC. It's a DSLR (proper camera) which is why it doesn't do video.
I've got one too, just with less flashy accessories (and skill). The photo results from them vs compacts are like night and day - about the only thing I use my compacts for now are workshop pictures and viedo - the Canon just kicks them into a cocked hat.
We've got iMovie at home. It is very easy to use and re-samples things down to a reasonable size off camera-grabbed videos very nicely.
It's the only thing I've found the Mac is actually better at so far.
