A. Not directly.
Take the card out and use a card reader to copy the files to the Mac.
Download and install MPEG StreamClip and convert the very highly compressed video to MOV or MP4 format that iMovie can deal with.
When the conversion is complete, quit MPEG StreamClip and launch iMovie. Drag the converted video to the capture area or the clips pane (depends on the version of iMovie).
Warning: The original video on the memory card is REALLY compressed. When you fill a monitor or TV when playing back, the video quality will be terrible. This is not unexpected.
If you want high quality video, then record the video to the miniDV tape. That is DV-format and can be imported to iMovie with the firewire cable connecting the camcorder's DV port to the Mac's firewire port - and the camcorder in Play mode.

How can I use my Sony Handycam HDR-CX150E instead of my iSight on Mac?
Q. I know the Sony Handycam is a camcorder, but I would really like to use it as a camera on my macbook pro instead of my built in iSight. My macbook pro is a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and my Handycam is a Sony Handycam HDR-CX150E. Please help!
A. You don't. The Sony HDR-CX150 and your Mac has:
USB which does not stream video;
HDMI which provides video out - but the Mac does not have an HDMI input built-in;
AV-out which provides video out - but the Mac does not have an AV-input built-in.
Generally, high quality video streaming can be handled using a camcorder that supports a firewire connection in the Mac. These are typically miniDV tape based camcorders. There are no consumer grade camcorders (including your CX150) that have a firewire connection.
