Can you give a computer novice who just bought a FS300 Caon instructions on how to upload onto the mac and burn onto a dvd? i have Mac 10.5.8 with imovie 8. thanks

Thank you J. I'm sure the HV20 should work since it's DV Tape based and the video capture is made in real time.My concern is that since the HG10 works with a Hard Drive, the files copied to the computer may be in a format that the Mac cannot read... That would be a bummer.I've heard about some Sony AVCHD cameras not being compatible with the Mac and this is why I wonder about this one.I guess ultimately I can just get it and try it and return it if it doesn't work.Thanks again,Christian

Here is a link to the Sony site. HDR-CX260V is compatible with MAC. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=1192&mdl=HDRCX260VB

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

Hi Chezron, please refer on the link given below on how to set one of the camera's settings when transferring files using MAC. Please select PTP/MTP so that your Mac will recognize the camera. Hope this helps. -Ely http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC-W710_W730_guide/eng/contents/07/02/11/11.html?search=mac

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

I think this is a timly update from panasonic now, I have FZ28 its a nice camera, with these few addons i am sure FZ-35 will be a best seller, recording in Stereo with MP4 for small size was desperately needed. when you buy, dont forget to buy 8Gb Class-6 memory card with a Tripod and Camera Case. these are must have., enjoy

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

I doubt that you will ever find a digital camera that does not work with a Mac (OS X and later). Macs were the first to use USB and tend to be the choice of most serious photographers and graphic artists.

Hi, Michael - I, too am an osX guy... you probably already did this, but I looked at Micro Memo on http://amazon.com, and several reviews were unfavorable; evidently, fidelity is not so great. I only saw one Olympus model description that even mentioned Mac, though (the 1G model) - I wonder if any of the DS series models will work for us?

Where did you find the drivers. I have searched Canons website and can find no Mac drivers for this machine.

I'm in the same quandary - Lumix FX35 vs. Canon SX20; I'm most concerned about being able to transfer video to my iMac and then edit it/burn it to DVD. Has anyone had any experience with this? Note: looking at a reviewer's video clips of both cameras at full zoom, the Lumix clearly seemed to have the edge.

According with the Canon Starter guide on page 20, you could intall the MF3010 with Mac OS-X. No mention if is a Yosemite or not. Check wih the dealer. Goodbye.

plays great in camera, but skips when trying to play it through my iMac, despite a super-fast 2.66 Intel processor and 4GB! what could be the problem?
