What full version of Nikon Capture NX2 is currently being shipped? Will it install on a MacBook Pro operating under OS X 10.7.5 so that it can be upgraded to run properly?

The version really isn't important. The moment you install it you will be prompted to check for updates. Then you can update to the latest version. Yes, it runs on the latest OS X I have a new macbook pro running the latest OS X and have no issues. About versions. Typically the only version updates that take place are to add support for new models of cameras. The features in NX are rock solid.

Any video card is MAC compatible if you have Mountain lion or hire installed I would buy a newer nvidia myself keep your old vid card just in-case you have to reinstall and upgrade OSx

David; I really don't know about the Mac, but I can tell you that I love that camera. It is always on whenever I drive, it is mounted behind my rearview mirror, so I don't even know it's there, and once you learn how the software works it's pretty simple to save any important scenes on an SD card. My only criticism would be of the users manual. It is not especially well done. But it can be figured out.

I am using it on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with "image acquire" see other questions. It will run.

I have yet to get it to work on my MacBook Pro but some of that may be my own error. Apple just sent out an OS upgrade called OS X which is listed on the label of the Zoombinis box. Before this upgrade when I would put the disc in the drive it would show up on Finder with the circle and slash of something now allowed or not supported by the OS. Now I get the symbols clearly but still haven't managed to get it to run. Like I said, that may be my fault, I'm still learning how to use Mac rather than PC.

I'm in the same quandary - Lumix FX35 vs. Canon SX20; I'm most concerned about being able to transfer video to my iMac and then edit it/burn it to DVD. Has anyone had any experience with this? Note: looking at a reviewer's video clips of both cameras at full zoom, the Lumix clearly seemed to have the edge.

NO, do NOT get a MAC. Overpriced and WAY over-hyped. I can edit 60p with ZERO chop on one of my meager core-duo laptops at 1.8ghz, with effects and PIP's, etc. no problem. You probably are not optimally configured both in hardware and software. What kind of hard drive do you have? This is a very likely culprit. I typically only edit on RAID0 configs because of their awesome speed, and this is where the bottle-neck is really. Also, get some real editing software. I've been using Edius for 10+ years now, and it is simply THE BEST NLE software I have ever used bar none (Vegas, Avid, Premiere Pro through CS4, and yes (sigh) Final Crap Pro). It is incredibly fast, stable, and supports mixed formats and more on a single timeline. Best wishes in any case.

yes, i just tried it out this weekend. running the latest version of OSX (10.5.2), iMove 08 captures video from the camera via firewire flawlessly. the quality is awesome.

That is correct. I ran mine with mavericks nd yosemite and it was the same on both. The best solution is to use the adapter for speed, and switch over to usb when you need to access the dashboard... which shouldn't be too often... or upgrade to the 5d. I chose the $30 adapter over the $650 drobo myself

I have a macbook pro (older, but running Snow Leopard) and it does download to imovie '09. Found out how to get around Sony trying to sabotage mac users from someone else on the internet, here is his tip: "I was able to import movies from my Sony HDR-CX100 using a USB cable by first opening iMovie, and then pushing "USB Connect" in the first screen, and then "Disk Burn" instead of "USB Connect" in the second screen. This produced an icon, which I did not get when I pushed "USB Connect" in the second screen. Once the icon appeared, the movie showed up on iMovie and I was able to import it." My experience was that only had to hit the "usb connect" to make it happen, not disc burn. But be patient, can take a while for your mac to find the files. I will say, Sony's intentional lack of compatibility with mac is almost enough to make me take the camera back though. I just purchased and may still return, even though it is a great camcorder.

I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite when it first came out, and am now running 10.10.2. I can't speak to compatibility with Mavericks, but it works great with Yosemite. See my comment inside the thread "Has anyone successfully used the r800 on a MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10?"

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

I have an iMac with the Snow Leopard OS, and it was easy to install the software that came with the Nikon S3500. Then you must restart your computer. Now you are ready to take pictures. After you've taken some pictures, plug your camera into your computer via the USB cable/power cord, and download the pictures into View NX2. It is as easy as that.

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] comThey monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year.I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

What the heck! This model has been out for Canon for almost three months now. When is the Nikon version shipping?!?

I have the iMac and went ahead and bought Windows 7 to do work stuff on it through Bootcamp. Then, just recently bought the VC500 - downloaded it on the Windows 7 side and was able to connect my camcorder to the VC500 which was connected to my Mac and recorded it on Windows 7. Makes sense?In a nutshell, buying a full version of Windows and installing on my Mac was the best thing I could ever do. It's the best of both worlds - really.

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.
