I've used it on both the Mac (Leopard/Snow Leopard) and Windows(Vista/7) sides without issues so far. If you're curious to see how well the camera performs you can check out a camera test here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUWfX3s6FY

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.

I use Windows' MovieMaker Converted into the WMV format. Which I can bring into Apple using Flip. Hope this helps

Works very well with a Mac computer. The camera is also easy as a Mac to use! The videos can be used in iMovie.

Although I have not tried to view on a Mac - Yes, the newest cameras I have ordered have software on the disk for both Windows and Mac versions.

I just bought this camera, plugged it in today to my Macbook Pro, used the dv/firewire cable. It works fine with iMovie with no tweaking. But downloading is in actual time, so slow. just rewind your tape, put the little wheel on view and hit import.

Hi Lawanna, yes the camcorder is compatible with the Windows 8. Thanks_Mitch

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

Johnny,I am new at camcorders and am looking for something easy to download onto my lab top. I am not very computer savvy so I am hesitant to go the HD route. Any thoughts on the TM90 software? Easy to use? compared to Canon 41 and Sony ? Thanks

Yes, I bought this Tripp Lite FireWire and plugged it into my SonyHandycam and it worked great. On your Macbook air, you will need to run the older version of iMovie 9.0.0 which shows up easily when you type iMovie into the search box on your Macbook. iMovie HD (the newer version) does not support this transfer process. Then use iDVD to burn the DVDs by selecting Share/iDVD from the iMovie 9.0.9 drop down menu

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.

Yes. On Mac use image capture app and use preview to convert to anything you want. On pc use included software in box.

Fully compatible! Link to Fuji site here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/support/compati_winmac.html My wife and daughter both use the (earlier model) Z100fd (8 megapixel vs the 20's 10MP), and it works fine with the Mac. Opens right up in iPhoto with no problem, tho we usually connect the XD card with an adaptor to the Mac's USB port, which seems to work faster than using the USB cable. Ours are used with an older eMac, which is only USB1, so I'm sure USB2 (which this Fuji uses) on a more current Mac will transfer files a LOT faster! Ours takes great videos, and has pretty much eliminated the use of our DV camcorder for most events. One thing I'd recommend is to NOT import video clips into iPhoto, as the file sizes tend to reduce import speeds to a crawl, as well as slow iPhoto down quite a bit (altho this may not be an issue on a modern Intel-based Mac). Hope this info helps you... we Mac users need to support each other! ;-) BTW- I've added the lime-green z20fd on my OWN wish list here on Amazon!

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

I think so, I downloaded video to my PC, so I am pretty sure you can do the same thing to Mac

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
