If you can't stand Mini DV tape, the JVC MG255 gives *decent* video quality with the HDD convenience, and it should work with little trouble in iMovie HD from the iLife 2006 suite. If you have iMovie 08, I can't comment on that. I have a JVC MG555 and it works fine with iMovie HD (06), but I have to delete the first frame of each clip, as there is some overlay ghosting effect (deleting the first frame for about 20 clips takes less than a minute for me).
If you can handle Mini DV tapes, then you have lots of better options. Check out the Canon ZR line for cheap cams with mic input (some of them have it), but I warn you, I bought one and absolutely hated the horrible tape motor noise that I couldn't get rid of (the one I bought had no mic input; I was stupid back then).
Honestly, you aren't going to get "great" video quality for under $400, but because I'm not sure what you mean by "good" I can't guarantee what you'll like. The kind of camcorder that has a mic input is the kind that starts to merge itself into the higher price range.
I recommend you to look at the Canon Elura 100, which won an award on the below-listed site, and has a mic-in. It's cheap too, at under $400.
