you can get final cut express. if you new to video and editing it will be a much better choice. the reason for that is because it is much easyer to use and also you can get the hang of how to do everything in post production

There's no need to get pro without the studio. It's really not much better than express if you don't have the rest of the studio

Unless you're getting paid to edit video, you don't need Final Cut Pro. I torrented the entire thing, studio included and it is sooooo fucking hard to use.
I wouldn't bother with Pro unless you absolutely need it for school or a job or something.
Go with express.

On that note, what will you be using it for?

wait, nevermind, i didn't realize that you were one of the mac users that dont actually know how to use a computer and thus make all windows users make this generalization.

I use a mac and a PC, I do know how to use computers lol.

Final Cut Pro Studio was just way too much for what I was doing and for what I wanted it just had way too much. iMovie is all I really need, as the most advanced I get is facebook edits. I am a bit of a video noob, I'm not doing anything fancy so I didn't need a tool of that caliber. I used it successfully anyways, but I couldn't figure out how to use colour and some of the other extras, and for what I was doing it was unnecessary.

I mean FCS2 is pretty sick and if you are a student you can get it for pretty cheap and its really quite worth it if you need it for school. I torrented the studio without teh content for anything but FCP...works well for me. I dont even know how to use Imovie, IMO that is more complex than FCP

FCP is the way to be.  I use Adobe cause I have a PC, but Final Cut Pro is soooo much sleeker and easier to use and nicer.  They both have ups and downs, but I like FCP much more.
