Definately. I have uploaded files, both by USB cable and by inserting the SD card into a card reader (which fits into the USB port). I have uploaded this camera's photos to an iBook, macBook, and macBook Pro. I use the program Image Capture, which comes with the OS (standard on each Mac). It detects the available photos automatically and asks if I want to upload them. I can specify to delete the photos on the card/camera after uploading, or leave them there. You can upload all pictures or just some of them. The program is very easy to use, no matter how your camera is hooked up to the computer. Definately.

I don't have a Mac but I assume it should work just fine with a Mac. Great camera.

Hi Dr. K, Yes, this is definitely Mac compatible, for versions 10.1.5 on up, according to their product specs. Hope this helps - I plan to buy one of these myself, and I'm strictly a Mac person. -sasha

I'm wondering the same thing... i cannot even upload the file from my camera onto my Mac.. i'm confused because my Sony T90 uploaded video without any problem. Please can someone answer this question

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.

Yes this drive is compatible with a Mac. I plugged it in, opened up Disk Utility, formatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be exact) and it's working just peachy. I even partitioned it, about half for backups and the other half for other stuff.

I'm sorry, but I don't know if this camera is Mac compatible. I usually don't use the software and just upload files to my computers. (Windows XP and Windows 7) This camera has awesome quality and has a light so in somewhat darker places it still takes great video. I had one before that broke and I went out immediately and bought JVC again. Love this camera!!!!!

I am sorry but I haven't used this camera on a Mac. Sorry for not being of any help.

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

Sorry but I do not know if it is compatible with Mac, but I sure like them. I have 2. But, I do have a co-worker that uses a Mac. He will be in later today & I'll get him to try it out and let you know how it goes.

I have a Mac and the pics and video upload easily and the quality is great. I use iPhoto and iMovie.

Not compatible with MAC yet. Spoke with Technical support this morning. They mentioned the next model would be MAC ready. They are currently working on the MAC compatible updates.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

Yeah as long as your mac has USB, no problems at all. The software that comes with it, won't work. But software that comes with cameras is usually useless anyway

its a widely known issue - macs dont recognise memory card formatted by this camera. it's a joke trying to get files onto iMovie...

Mac works fine - pop the microSD card into an adapter (SD or USB) and put that in your Mac, works without problems. Had some issues connecting the unit directly via USB (see my review for that)
