DSCW55 / MAC Compatibility: How about this camera?
449926
Sorry - this is not a reply...I just want to know the same thing. I'm in the process of buying both a Macbook and the Sony DSW55, and it's important they get along great! Does anybody know otherwise? Please let me know before I order!!!

No answer, but my camera also will not provide signal for import to iPhoto on a Mac. This is recent. Help; help!

Yes, it's compatible with Mac. Just plug it in the USB port and iMovie and iPhoto will recognize it. You can then import video and pic as necessary.

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

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!

I doubt that you will ever find a digital camera that does not work with a Mac (OS X and later). Macs were the first to use USB and tend to be the choice of most serious photographers and graphic artists.

The software that comes with the camera only works on Windows - but I use VMWare Fusion to run Windows under Mac and that works fine

I had problems using it with my mac. This is what Nix say..."There is a compatibility issue between the X08C and a Mac. A firmware upgrade cannot solve it unfortunately. As you probably know, Mac systems can often have 'hidden' files when you make transfers onto Memory Cards. These interfere with the frame and create duplicates."

Don't know about Mac comparability. I do know that I didn't like the camera. Instructions weren't intuitive. And for things as simple as the delete button it was impossible to find. I sent it back and bought a Canon instead. Much happier

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

Good question. I have just purchased the camera, because it has a short Mac section in the manual that seems to indicate that it is compatible. However, now that I've used it, i can't move the video to my Mac. Worthless!

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

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

This is very helpful thanks. If the card reader works seamlessly with iPhoto, that's great. They even sell card readers on Amazon that go into the expansion card slot of the MacBook/MacBook Pro for dirt cheap so I'll probably just pick up one of those. More convenient than connecting the camera with all the wires, etc anyway. Thanks for the help!

Yes, since it has a USB interface. Just go to Applications>Image Capture on your Mac and it'll sync up.

Hi, What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks
