Cybershot DSCQ120/B 7.2MP with 4x zoom- COMPATIBLE WITH MACS??? I have been looking over this camera in hope of buying it and weighing out some other options. So far I liked this one best, but I would like to know from someone - Is this camera compatible with a MAC? This is the computer I have and the only way I would buy this would be if it was compatible with a Mac. Thanks!!! Cybershot DSCQ120/B 7.2MP with 4x zoom- COMPATIBLE WITH MACS???

All the major camera companies camera will work with macs. Take pictures..plug it in to your mac...and iphoto will take over !!! My family ONLY uses macs, and our Sony, Nikons, Canon, and Samsung Xacti all work GREAT with macs.

I don't know that much about the Mac; however, the instruction for the camera indicate that it is Compatible with PC or Mac.

Thanks, George. I read the description that says the camera is compatible with Mac, but I wanted to know whether the webcam can override the built-in camera.

Don't know if compatible with a Mac since I use a PC, I think my card is 32 GB, it was the card I used with my other camera

I agree...I'm searching for business use, and the PowerShots seem to fit my needs for everything other than not having a viewfinder! Most people at the office won't care, but I am the primary photographer here and get better pictures when I use a viewfinder. I personally own a Sony Cybershot with about the same megapixels and optical zoom, and it takes excellent pictures, but the memory card type and the cost of the camera don't fit my needs here at work. Have either of you found anything else comparable with a viewfinder? Part of what I need is good close-up shots, as well as overall quality good enough for a publication.

Good question. I have just purchased the camera, because it has a short Mac section in the manual that seems to indicate that it is compatible. However, now that I've used it, i can't move the video to my Mac. Worthless!

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

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.

I found a review of this camera on Associated Media that mentions it is NOT Mac compatible.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

This camera is so easy to use with a Mac. I simply remove the SanDisk card and put it into the SanDisk slot on my MacBook Pro. If your computer doesn't have a SanDisk slot, you can buy a card reader that plugs into the usb port (can get one for less than $10.) Another option is to attach via the USB cable that comes with the camera. This is a very easy to use camera.

I got this camera for christmas, and I am running an imac with OSX version 10.5.5 which I am finding very unfortunate. The customer service line rings and rings and won't answer, and this camera does not appear to be compatible with my computer, thus I cannot get my christmas pictures off of it! Frustrating!!!

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

I have been using the Camera in my MacBook Pro and I find the quality is actually better than some digital cameras that i have used in the past, I've had great results. Hope that helps, good luck.

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

You shouldn't need any additional software for newer versions of MacOS. I suspect you won't need anything additional for Windows either, but I didn't have a Windows box nearby to test with. The camera also comes with a CD with software on it (I didn't try it).
