I have been using a mini DV camera (SONY) for the last few years with EMC 10 and have to now replace the camera. What type of Hard disk camera would work best with EMC 10. I have the list from the tech site but would like some input from those who are using HD cameras with this software.

I would not touch a HDD camcorder with a 10 foot memory stick!

Go with a memory card, no moving parts and minuscule power draw!!!

My 8gb card gives me 2:30+ of HD…

A card reader is all I need to transfer and use the files directly. Also each start and stop is a new file so Scenes are 'built in'.

Never used HD with EMC 10.

Is there one camera or other anyone could recommend? How big of a memeory card would I need for about 1 hour of film? I use my camera for my basketball program and like the videowave feature for highlight and lowlight films.

Read Jim's mesasage again 8G = 2 1/2 hours of high definition video for his. Many cameras record in AVCHD a highly compressed high definition video so you can get a lot of time on a small card.
Buy what you can afford. Google for camcorder reviews; here is one source , this is another,that will let you find one that you might like.

After you find something you like, go to a big box store and actually hold the camera. the trend is to smaller and lighter wich makes them hard to hold still if they don't have some sort of shake reducer built in.
