    It’s not that a Camcorder is or is not compatible with an editing system.

    Some cams shoot to a format that can be edited directly (JVC w/ MOV wrapper) And some cams shoot to a format that needs to be converted b/4 editing.

    I would suggest you buy the best AVCHD camcorder you can afford.
    Look into the Panny HMC series.

    Don’t forget:

    Extra Battery
    Camera bag
    UV Filter
    SD Cards
    Card Reader

    Not to mention everything else.
    As you shoot to cards your need for Hard Drives will rise as well.
