I narrowed my search to the Canon Vixia HG20 or HG21 and Sony HDR-SR11...I'm looking for the pros and cons of each and which product would work best with the Imac and i-Movie...I noticed that the HG20 does not have an eyepiece to look through while shoting video which seems like it could be a problem...
