You could get FCExpress for free if you had an install disk for Premiere. You can still buy it for $99 if you're buying a new Mac. Express doesn't have the 3 way color corrector, only works in DV, doesn't have batch capture, can't keyframe filters (but you can keyframe motion, just not in the viewer) You can't see keyframes either, except for audio and opacity. There's lots more.
