Potentially very expensive book!

This book is chock full of great information and little gems of tips covering the entire suite of Apple's iLife products. By 'potentially expensive' I mean that I am just about ready to plunk down the cash for a nice DV camera because Cohen's book makes the iMovie/iDVD products sound very exciting. Who could have imagined being able to produce high quality videos on a personal computer just a few years ago.And there are lots of wonderful tips that I've found to be extremely helpful. For instance, making bulk changes to iTunes track information (pg. 54). And putting together 'smart playlists' (pg. 75)! Neat! I also found the overview of page construction for iPhoto a real timesaver (pg. 176); and I'm looking forward to using the various titling options (Pg. 277) and transition effects (pg. 312) when my DV camera arrives!Very valuable! If you're interested in getting the full potential out of the iLife products then you should seriously consider the iLife Bible by Dennis Cohen.
