Mac Compatible? Does anybody have experience using this camera with Macs?

Yes, I have this camera and download the photos on my Apple Powerbook all the time. Canon always does a great job of supporting mac users with its bundeled software. If you have iPhoto (which comes with every mac) you don;t need tyo load the Canon software. When you plug the cmaera into the USB port, OS X will recognize it and open up iPhoto where you can import, edit, resize, etc, the photos.

I believe that the software that comes with the camera has a "MAC" option for installation. The image files that are produced by this camera work in the "MAC" platform.

Yes - I use iMovie with this camera. I take out the SD card and put into my MacBook Pro - and then input into iMovie :) Hope this helps - I really love this camera.

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

Ummm...why does everyone say it's not Mac compatible? I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard and iMovie imports the clips with the USB cable.

I'd just like to add that I was unable to find any software for the camera that works on a Mac OSX, with the result that many of the features don't work, including picture adjustment. On my Mac Pro, the picture is higher-res and significantly better than my old webcam, but it's also significantly over-exposed.

Hi,Thank you for emailing me. This camera system is designed to hook up to a RCA plug, like a VCR, or a TV. If your Mac has RCA jacks, you should be able to hook this device up to it, but you would need to find compatible software. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.Regards,Andrew SchearerOperations Manager"Like" us at facebook.com/reforgerdirect

Yes, it's compatible with Mac. Just plug it in the USB port and iMovie and iPhoto will recognize it. You can then import video and pic as necessary.

I use mine on a pc with a Nikon camera. It has a standard usb 2.0 connector but I don't know if Mac's support usb. They make other cables so I would look for one that is Mac and Cannon compatible.

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

The Pixela software referenced by C. Suntra did the trick for me, although it does require that extra step of interpreting the footage into iMovie-friendly format. I've gone back and forth about keeping or returning the camera since it's not Mac-friendly, but have decided to keep it. I've learned that there really aren't any current hard drive camcorders on the market that are Mac-friendly. The Amazon price was the best I found after shopping around.

Can,t comment on MAC compatibility of software. I use a PC and take the SD card out and plug it to download the JPG files. I like the features on this camera especially the panorama stitch of three. Highly recommended after I killed the predecessor with fine Australian dust.

I'm using a Windows P.C. Not sure about using a Mac. I would contact Canon for more details. The software (Pixela) that came with my videocam does require only Windows OS to operate.

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

I have had no trouble at all uploading to my Mac from this camera. I have worked in both iMovie and FCPX with no glitches at all.

No, it is not mac compatible. I found the product manual online here: http://www.vtechkids.com/_f/_pw/_manual/80-077300%20Kidizoom%20Camera.pdfPage 10 of the PDF: "Minimum System Requirements For PC Connection: Windows 2000 SP3+/ XP"
