I have a macbook air. Will the camera/software work with that computer? Would you recommend this over the double lens model?

It works fine with PhotoBooth on my Mac. Photo Booth doesn't have some of the features their software provides, but it's enough to see the image, capture movies, and capture photos. Hint: When taking photos in Photo Booth, hold down the option key when clicking to skip the annoying countdown and beeps.

I use mine on a pc with a Nikon camera. It has a standard usb 2.0 connector but I don't know if Mac's support usb. They make other cables so I would look for one that is Mac and Cannon compatible.

I don't have a MAC but that refers to the operating system not file formats. So, I don't think there would be any compatability issues. The camera transfers the photos/videos in standard formats.

Should be fine. I use 2 of them on a 2012 Macbook air. 2-20 inch apple cinema DVI displays.Plug and play. (well, you do have to download a driver) If you're short on USB ports get a hub.I haven't found a better solution for the price. So far excellent performance.

I have a MacBook Air with the most up to date software and mine works perfectly. I took a chance on this display screen and I'm glad I did. Never had any problems. Also you will need a converter for the screen to plug into your laptop. My converter is a DVI to mini display port covertor which I got at radio shack because I couldn't find one at any other store where I live.

It works with our mac book pro, even when we don't want it to (my daughter has to watch her computer when she is working in the front room and I am using the apple tv, because it wreaks havock with her computer unintentionally, even switching windows and clicking on links that have nothing to do with video while I'm watching a movie, depending on which window she has active). I don't know that there's a huge difference with the macbook air.

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"You're welcome. I think the camera is great. Really nice hs pics. I did buy the cannon mike that mounts on top on the shoe and if u have the extra $150 I think it is well worth it audio wiseThe mic is made for the camera. We use it to record our church services so I needed better sound than the built in micDave

It did work with my mac air. I have given it to my son to use with his MBP. So far there has been no complaint.

All the major camera companies camera will work with macs. Take pictures..plug it in to your mac...and iphoto will take over !!! My family ONLY uses macs, and our Sony, Nikons, Canon, and Samsung Xacti all work GREAT with macs.

The camera works great on my Mac. The software does not. You don't need the software and the picture is better than the built in camera

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

I had to install the software that came on the disk in the box (also available on Asus website). After that it works very well with my brand new Mac Mini running OS X 10.9 Mavericks, so I think it probably would work with your Macbook Air.

Works on MacBooks but also depends on what kind of camera you have. I like my older camera so I bought the super tiny and very portable aLLreLL because it supports xd cards. Reading the instructions on Amazon for the Unitek leave a lot to be desired.

Thank you J. I'm sure the HV20 should work since it's DV Tape based and the video capture is made in real time.My concern is that since the HG10 works with a Hard Drive, the files copied to the computer may be in a format that the Mac cannot read... That would be a bummer.I've heard about some Sony AVCHD cameras not being compatible with the Mac and this is why I wonder about this one.I guess ultimately I can just get it and try it and return it if it doesn't work.Thanks again,Christian

Hi, sorry, I don't have a MacBook Air, so I can't comment with certainty. But, if the Air has a HDMI port, then it should work, with iTunes, without an issue. It connects my Apple TV to a VGA projector perfectly.

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