P.S I run OSX, a Mac, so if you know any good editing software that willl be good to know too....I currently have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 but I dont think I can edit AVCHD

As for the HF10 and HF100 there are footages on the web comparing them, the HV20/30 are still better. I expect AVCHD to be better next year.
easy to encode (i am not sure it is easy , still trying to encode my foos , cos' i am not sure what encoder is best? :)))
anyway i can easly say that recording foos of hv20/hv30 is same like hg10 . cos' both of them have 2.7'' big chip
it suply 1440x1080 29.97 fps.. when i decide what to buy ..seller made a port connection to show there is no differance betwen hv30 and hg10(meanwhile hv20 not in japan market he only test hv30 and hg10)
all parameters were same..but remember that hv20 record on raw media and will be a little bit good .. this not cost to pay more money to casette for a little game to play (15casette=40gb hg10)
if i bought a hf10 i would need a mem card 16gb cost $150 and cam was 800$ . i bought hg10 $550 and a h24 battery $80..cost me $630
but meanwhile , can suggest you sr11 sony ..really good in macro ..hg10/hv30 has not macro ..
if i manage to encode my foos i will put a sample to vimeo soon
I am not going to give you any advice about buying the camera, but I am going to say two things here and leave it alone.
1. Move off FCE into something that will allow you to use decent codecs. The AIC codec in FCE is a waste if you are actually trying to preserve quality for something like a movie.
2. I saw from your comments that you will be shooting with little light. I don't know how to say this other than to just say it. Don't do this. Your video will look like garbage. If you want to shoot a movie, LIGHT it like a movie. If you want to present this as a reel for film school, rent a camera, shoot a 5 minute concept movie, but get the best actors and equipment you can afford.
NO good movie is shot with little light. If you've never seen a Hollywood movie production of a night scene, you might be surprised. More often than not, they are shot in the full sun in the middle of the day. When they are actually shot at night, they bring in tens or hundreds of thousands of watts of light so that the image isn't super grainy. And when they shoot, they are on film, or the best HD cameras money can buy. Like the $500k Genesis, or the $250k F35.
Light your film. You can make it dark in post.

(I don't know how those things are called in English, hence the picture) - you get a strong, neutral light that comes on a tripod for a few bucks. Adding light to a scene not only saves your film from looking like crap, it adds a whole new layer of visual possibilities.
Second, get a good microphone. Never use the built-in mic your cam has, especially if you shoot on tape. Also, get a boom or some other way to get the microphone to where the audio you want to record actually happens.
And most importantly, keep on filming!
