I just bought a laptop with Windows 8.1. This video camera states the PC requirement is Windows XP SP2/Vista/Windows 7? Does that mean it will not work on my new laptop? Or is that just a minimum requirement?

Yup - it works perfectly - just connect your camera to your laptop, turn it on and go to the drives. Then click on the proper drive for the external device and you should see a menu of four items; select the one labeled video and it should open with your videos - no names, but the files are there. Drag and drop them to your desktop and rename them at will or drop them into whatever folder you want. Very simple, and easy as pie! K.

I don't know the requirements for windows 7. I prefer xp over windows seven a lot of older programs won't run on seven and xp can also run DOS programs. If It has the min. memory and hard drive requirements are there it should work. I bought one of the computers I am not the seller. Mine works great with xp I have Win Seven on another computer but love XP for my older programs.

Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (SP2), Macintosh OS X 10.4.8+. Also requires available DVI or VGA connection on your video card, available USB port, and CD/DVD drive. That's the minimum. The programs that you use with it will define your video card, processor and ram requirements.

Unused/new = yes. On-board video = yes. I assume it's compatible with Win 7 & 8, however I'm using Win XP.

The system requirements indicate it is compatible with Windows XP, SP3/Windows Vista SP1, Pentium III 800 MHz or higher. My system is Windows 7, so if it is indicating that it is compatible with a higher version also, I would tend to think that your Windows 8 system would be acceptable, but I do not see Windows 8 listed per se. Bottom line, I would think it would work but cannot be certain about that.

I took a leap of faith and purchased it for my laptop running Windows 8.1. It seems to work fine so far. The toughest part was finding a good video capture program for Windows 8. Windows Movie Maker 2012 gets the audio out of sync with the video. I was worried it was the ExpressCard doing it, but I tried another freeware capture program and it was fine.

Hi, What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

Sorry don't really, know. What I do know is that after initally working with windows xp, the software started using the laptops built in camera as the video source rather than the inspection camera. As of yet I have not been able to make it go back to the inspection camera. While it worked it worked well, other than it is a little floppy, so when you put it in a small hole, it is somewhat hard to control direction.

I don't think that it matters what window's you have I have window's 7 and it works just fine you have to use manycam to take pictures or video's with it. It's a great webcam.

The webcam may work for Windows XP. Im not sure. When I received mine, it came with no instructions, no manual, nothing. Just the webcam wrapped in bubble wrap. AND to top it off, it didn't work and would NOT connect to my desktop or laptop

Windows Xp is minimum requirement. That means you must have windows XP. How is this confusing?

Yes indeed. That especific camera is made for windows xp and only xp. No drivers available to upgrade. What i did i use it with direct VCR video cable to my tv screen then I capture the image from screen to my pc you can do that with videocap usb device

The Aspire One I had ran on Windows XP. So I gave up on watching any videos...not enough memory. Kept stopping to buffer and buffer etc. Since Windows 8 supposedly uses a much lower amount of memory and thus frees it up for other programs, maybe it would work ok. But can the hardware support Win 8? I don't know. Bottom line is if streaming video is critical to you, look at another model. This is my personal experience and I am not an IT professional.

Well, this is a computer. You can download software for windows 7 This has one web camera. I hope this information would be useful for you.

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!

Hi Your question made to download the 2.5 and install it on windows 8. It did work well. I can not watch real time video but it does record. I have not tested other features.

I use the Canon P-215 with my Dell laptop which is using Windows 7. There have been no problems and I do not anticipate there would be a problem with Windows 8. If purchased through Amazon, I'm sure they would stand behind the P-215.
