Well first off, what the heck does 3-CCD mean. As far as that high def. camera, I thought that Mac had a whole line of HD movie editing software but regardless, that's really expensive.

What I intend to use it for:

Well, for filming things Mainly low budget films around the area -- like filming "new episodes" of discontinued TV series with my friends playing the characters or for vacation footage. Perhaps cheesy documentaries? I'm not really sure.

As far as Mac VS. PC for movie edited -- I always was lead to believe that Macs were HANDS DOWN better for that task. Have I been deceived? I was looking at the iMac's and they look really nice -- my knowledge of PC's (and electronics in general) generally is whatever is in this weeks Best Buy Ad so all this is GREATLY appriciated!
