iPod Garage : iPod, iTunes, and Music : News, Commentary, and Reviews : Switch to the iPod Garage - Video Podcasting starts with a video camcorder

iPod Garage : iPod, iTunes, and Music : News, Commentary, and Reviews : Switch to the iPod Garage - Video Podcasting starts with a video camcorder: "For creating a video podcast you are going to need a video camcorder. There are some options to consider:

1 CCD vs 3 CCD -- the glass is important too
DV tape or mini DVD or hard drive
Standard vs HD resolution

Apple has a list of compatible camcorders, and all the cameras sold through the Apple Store are iMovie-compatible.

Since this is for video podcasting I will exclude HD cameras as HD is just too big for fast downloads. That will change in a few years, but we are living in the present.

Almost all of the cameras sold at the Apple Store are MiniDV, the Sanyo C5 Digital Media Camera uses SD memory cards. If you are in a studio or near a computer you can record straight into iMovie. There are also camcorders that will record to DVD media and to internal hard drives. I'd stick with MiniDV tapes for now."
