Apple iLife '08 Family Pack Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Another great companion to leopard and iWork
Comment: Yeah, iMovie '06 provides features not found in iMovie '08 but Apple rethought the concept so there are benefits to both (and you can download iMovie '06 free anyways).
Like iWork, this is a great package for almost everyone. Professionals are going to go with the pro tools but where else can you get a family bundle for this price? iPhoto alone will make the purchase worth it for most people who use a digital camera (and, who doesn't?). I've never even used iWeb and I consider this a deal.

Summary: Great suite of software
Comment: I have to admit, I don't use iDVD or Garageband much yet, but I use iPhoto quite a bit. I have almost 20,000 photos to manage, and iPhoto does a good job. I hope to use Garageband at some point after I get a new music keyboard, although that isn't necessary.
I am disappointed with iMovie, though. They really dumbed-down its capabilities. For many people, it may be easier, if all you want to do is some minor processing and move your recorded video onto a DVD. However, they removed a lot of tools for actually creating a video presentation. To get a lot of what iMovie used to have, you either have to get the old version (can you still downgrade for free? not sure), or purchase the $300 Final Cut Express (which, of course, gives you a lot more than even old iMovie had).
Worth the $80, but there are things I would like to see Apple improve in iPhoto, as much as I like it. There are some things that are hard to manage using keyboard shortcuts, some of the interface has odd non-Mac-standard behavior, and I've had some issues with Smart Albums. I hope they continue to improve it, but it's definitely worth what it costs.

Comment: I purchased iLife to resolve a conflict I was experiencing between HD Movie, on an older system, and iMovie, on a newer system - It resolved my problem...
