Is this camera compatible to a Mac? and what is basic software I would need to edit?

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 can't answer that. I don't have a Mac or the software that came with the camera

That's the beauty of Macintosh. Connect the camera via USB or insert the memory card into a reader and connect to your Mac. Import the file(s) into iMovie or other video editing software. Easy as pie!

I'm using it with Windows 7 but it says Mac compatible in the instructions. It comes with a disc but you can download editing software from Mattel free of charge

My guess is yes, but I have Windows not a Mac... it's usb 2.0 and SD Card. You still need picture editing software on the Mac or OCR software, but I suspect that it would work.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

yes the WebCam does work with a Mac, but no the software does not so you will lose some functionality such as the ability to turn the camera and use the zoom features. But they may have compatibility patches or software for it. I'm not certain

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.

Yes, this works with a Mac. I just load Photo Booth and select the USB camera.

I own a Mac, and camera on the Mac it is Plug N Play. The only thing you can adjust is the microphone level which is good since that can eliminate feedback. Out of many web cams this was one of the only that is compatible with a Mac. The auto focus has never been an issue on web cam chats. The only problem I have had is when no one is talking the camera searches for a sound, and sometimes generates feedback, but that is rare.

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

Don't know. Mac person. Software is not the main attraction of the camera, which I really like!

It works fine on my Macbook. I just import all of my videos and photos into Iphoto.

This camera works fine with my Mac (Mini running Leopard) to download pix into iPhoto. It just shows up as a drive like other digicams. The web cam function does NOT work on the Mac though.

Howard, I found this camera to be unusable and sent it back. I bought the dlink DSC 5020L and it works great...Mac OS compatible too.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

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

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?
