I've used it on both the Mac (Leopard/Snow Leopard) and Windows(Vista/7) sides without issues so far. If you're curious to see how well the camera performs you can check out a camera test here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUWfX3s6FY

from one of the reviews I found this: MAC USERSThe CX220 claims that it does not work with MAC OS, but it does work with iMovie. What this basically means is that you cannot simply plug the CX220 into your MAC and copy files.You must first download iMovie, and then all recordings can be stored to your MAC very easily. iMovie is a great program and very easy to use. There is a great post on YouTube that is titled: HDR-CX160 directly to iMovie. This is the same method for storing videos from your HDR-CX220 to your MAC. It works very well.

You can use iMovie or Final Vut Pro if using a Mac. If using Windows Sony movie studio also green screen is also known as chromakey. As you key out the green or some times blue screens. So when searching that may help.

No, it is not mac compatible. I found the product manual online here: http://www.vtechkids.com/_f/_pw/_manual/80-077300%20Kidizoom%20Camera.pdfPage 10 of the PDF: "Minimum System Requirements For PC Connection: Windows 2000 SP3+/ XP"

Fully compatible! Link to Fuji site here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/support/compati_winmac.html My wife and daughter both use the (earlier model) Z100fd (8 megapixel vs the 20's 10MP), and it works fine with the Mac. Opens right up in iPhoto with no problem, tho we usually connect the XD card with an adaptor to the Mac's USB port, which seems to work faster than using the USB cable. Ours are used with an older eMac, which is only USB1, so I'm sure USB2 (which this Fuji uses) on a more current Mac will transfer files a LOT faster! Ours takes great videos, and has pretty much eliminated the use of our DV camcorder for most events. One thing I'd recommend is to NOT import video clips into iPhoto, as the file sizes tend to reduce import speeds to a crawl, as well as slow iPhoto down quite a bit (altho this may not be an issue on a modern Intel-based Mac). Hope this info helps you... we Mac users need to support each other! ;-) BTW- I've added the lime-green z20fd on my OWN wish list here on Amazon!

Yes, no problem using with Macbook. Just plug it into a USB port and it becomes another drive in Finder. Then you can move the files off the recorder to your C: drive.

Play memories home does not seem to support MAC OS. Check with Sony tech support. Otherwise, connect the camcorder as a storage device, copy and paste your video file. Third option, import using a third party video editor. Check if Sony Vega Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director would work.

what software did you find? i'm a mac user as well and was thinking about purchasing this camera.

If you have an Intel based Mac you will be able to handle the AVCHD codec. If you have an earlier PowerPC Mac (like the dual G5 I have) you will have to transcode to MPEG video to edit. This is a time consuming process as I learned when borrow an AVCHD camera from a family member. More information is available on video forums regarding this concern.

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.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

It worked great to connect and transfer video from my Sony 8mm Camcorder to my iMac. Should not be an issue with the Panasonic as it supports Firewire and I understand that the interface works great on the Panasonic. You will use iMovie to import the video clips/files.

I am considering CX150 or CX110. Is there any difference between those two except 16GB internal memory in CX150? I have been researching camcorder for more than week and can't decide. Now boils down to one of these two - no reasons...just due to Sony brand. I know there better rated panasonic and canon out there in the similar price range...any comments???

Yes, I bought this Tripp Lite FireWire and plugged it into my SonyHandycam and it worked great. On your Macbook air, you will need to run the older version of iMovie 9.0.0 which shows up easily when you type iMovie into the search box on your Macbook. iMovie HD (the newer version) does not support this transfer process. Then use iDVD to burn the DVDs by selecting Share/iDVD from the iMovie 9.0.9 drop down menu

Yes, it is certainly possible. All you need is a video editor that works with the AVCHD format that your camcorder outputs. Here's a couple examples: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack or Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, but they only run under Windows. If you read through the comments made by purchasers of those (or other) editors, you'll learn that AVCHD can be challenging to edit, because the files are so big and the compression is so advanced. In other words, it really helps to have a reasonably powerful computer or else things will be slow.
