Well the specs don't seem to have bumped up that much, but I find the built-in iSight camera fascinating...

This is interesting (also some info on the iPod here). The new iMacs include a wireless remote control:

Sorry, you got something I wasn't giving. That wasn't intended as sarcasm. My point is that Apple is making it really easy to to do videoconferencing right out of the box. And the remote control hints at what may soon evolve into a home entertainment system.

I am not interested in the iMac G5 for myself, and I've never used the iSight either. That doesn't mean it isn't a useful product for someone else however. And as an Apple shareholder I'm happy to watch them carve out new markets.

The previous model iMac was also equipped with a dual-layer superdrive. :-) |

Being brand new, I'm sure no one has had the opportunity to use this new iMac yet. Any opinions on how it may handle editing?

If it did monitor expansion instead of just mirroring.... man, then I'd consider it as a nice "tweener" machine.

Mark,
It can do extended desktop with dual monitors. You just have to apply an easily done openfirmware tweak. The graphics "card" in it supports extended desktop but it's disabled through openfirmware modification. Here's how to do it. Here's my old setup. Also, I'm sure the new iMac is up to the task. I currently edit on a Mac Mini and it does great with DV footage. I use a DP G5 at work for uncompressed SD though.
