[MacDV] FCP, Camcorders that work?

[Frank Fitzpatrick]

I have the compatibility lists that Apple puts out for FCP 4.5 and 5.0. 
I'm looking for a Sony firewire camcorder but not overly expensive. 
Unfortunately, the FCP compatible camcorders listed officially by Apple 
for Sony are mostly discontinued models!

I see that Walt is using a DCR-TRV22 which works apparently but is not 
listed.

Feel free to chime in with other Sony models that you know work with 
Final Cut Pro 4.5 (also called HD). For example, I did a search on 
pricegrabber.com for a DCR-HC85 that brought up 2 listings, both of 
which turned out to REALLY be DCR-HC90s. Is this actually an updated 
new version of Sony's DCR-HC85? Weird.

Any advice is appreciated! This list and its people are great.
