Q. I want to edit my old analog tapes on my mac, and record new ones at digital quality. Surely there is a camcorder out there to suit my needs...?
A. You'd have to be careful when choosing a Digital-8 camcorder because they are not all backward compatible with 8mm & Hi8 video tapes.
Alternatively, you can use an analog/firewire converter device:

that is if you still have the analog 8mm and Hi8 camcorders to playback the video tapes.

A. iMovie as it currently exists on your Mac will never recognize this camera directly.
When you connect the camera to your Mac using USB, the camera should appear as a storage device on the desktop. You should be able to double click on that stroage device icon to open it. Somewhere in there are the video files.
These video filess will most likely be eithere REALLY compressed MPEG2 or JPEG2000 files. In either case, iMovie cannot deal with them yet.
You need to download, install and use StreamClip

to convert those files to something iMovie can deal with - the most common file types are .mov, .dv and .mp4. Once they are converted, you can drag/drop the files into the iMovie clips pane or timeline.
