Jean-Paul:

Apple's list is not at all comprehensive.  I purchased a Sharp VL-NZ50 
Digital ViewCam MiniDV for 100.00 at a pawnshop.  It works great with my 
iBook and iMovie.  There are many available for even less on eBay.  The 
problem is, unless you know someone who has tried it, you are hard 
pressed to find out if it will truly work.  But although there are 
digicams with more features, the Sharp worked well for my needs.
