I bought this camera recently, and i had to buy additional software for it to work how I wanted it to, that being said it was only 30$ and I love this camera!

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

I'm not familiar with the mac. The AV cord allows the camcorder to be connected to dvd recorders/players and TVs. I connect the camcorder to the dvd recorder-player to transfer the video recordings to DVDs which are compatible with my computer and other players. Hope this helps.

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'm sorry, but I don't know if this camera is Mac compatible. I usually don't use the software and just upload files to my computers. (Windows XP and Windows 7) This camera has awesome quality and has a light so in somewhat darker places it still takes great video. I had one before that broke and I went out immediately and bought JVC again. Love this camera!!!!!

The Sony HDR-HC3 4MP does work with the Mac, in fact, that's the computer that I use. It works with Imovie and Final Cut Pro without any hassle via Firewire. If you have one of the new Macs, they don't have any Firewire, but they sell USB to Firewire 800 adapters and you can also buy a Firewire 400 (the conector of the camera) to Firewire 800 and conect it to the Usb to Firewire 800 adapter.

Hi Matthew, Could you tell me which program you bought to convert so my Mac can recognize the hi res video? Thanks!

The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook. I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though. 1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket 2) Make the camera switch set to "play video" 3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen 4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera! I did not end up even needing to install the software it came with. (ImageMixer 3 SE or the Digital Video Solution Disk Ver.30.0) The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook.

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

What's your price range and what's your experience in using video editing software? The Canon HG20 is great HD camcorder. For microphone, I'd suggest the DM100 from Canon or the Sennheiser MKE400. The DM100 as a fuller sound but tends to get boomy from excess bass. The MKE400 on the otherhand sounds a little thin at times. Lastly, what hardware are you using for video editing?

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

Thanks for the answers I received. I did find out that with my IMAC (newest version) I was able to use IMOVIE. Works fine.

Thanks. That worked! I was able to import video from my hdr-hc3 using imovie 2009 with those tips.
