Is this camera compatible with a Mac laptop?

Yes - and with iMovie (at least the newer ones) you can actually import directly from the camera into iMovie- I can basically do a 90min soccer game and have highlights out that night---

I got this cam as a gift for my parents and they have a mac,i believe running OS X. they've had no problems pulling images off the memory card

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.

Unfortunately Leda, I have not tried it on a Mac yet, but I do have a Mac in my "other" office (where I do video work) and I'll try and take it over there tomorrow and plug it in to see if it reads it. It's not a laptop, but a tower, but I would think it would be compatible with a Mac. I'll try and let you know what I find out.

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

Yes you can use with a MAC but, this is a low end camera with bad video. You are better off getting a higher end camera.

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.

Can,t comment on MAC compatibility of software. I use a PC and take the SD card out and plug it to download the JPG files. I like the features on this camera especially the panorama stitch of three. Highly recommended after I killed the predecessor with fine Australian dust.

Sorry, I wouldn't know, I never owned a Mac product to know if its compatible.

If the camera is a DV cam (firewire) I would suggest getting a Firewire 400 to Thunderbolt adapter (if your Macbook supports Thunderbolt).

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.

I don't know if this has been answered. Im am looking at the side of the box and it does say mac compatible. so the answer is YES

I have only transferred video fro the camera to a Windows PC and it was using the firewire cable. I guess there must exist some firewire adapter for the mac.

Yeah as long as your mac has USB, no problems at all. The software that comes with it, won't work. But software that comes with cameras is usually useless anyway

Yes, but you will have to set it up using the web interface. The trick is that that the camera has a default IP address that you have to accommodate and use the provided Ethernet cable.What I have done in the past is connect the camera directly to the Ethernet connector on my Mac (or the USB to Ethernet adapter), manually set the address if the Mac to be in the same subnet as the default IP address if the camera. You can then use your web browser on your Mac to connect to that address.The specifics of default IP address are provided in the included documentation.

Don't know, didn't try since I am a Mac person. However, I don't think it will since every camera I purchased had to specifically say it is either Mac or PC/Mac compatible. The iSight is specifically a Mac environment designed camera.

Not that I know so far. Unit did not come with English instructions. I have not been able to connect it with a Mac although it may be possible. I just don't know how. However, the camera does have playback options, and you can "lock" a video recording so that you won't overwrite or accidentally erase it.
