Can this "imager" be used to view image on my MacBook Pro (OS10.6)?

I tried it on an OS10 Mac desktop and couldn't get it to work. I then tried it on a PC Laptop and it worked beautifully and immediately. My Mac desktop is fairly old, so perhaps it would work on your MacBook Pro. Ask the company. I found them very responsive.

FYI, the Strobe 500 does NOT natively support Mac OS. I would go out on a limb and say it's borderline false advertisement. There are NO drivers for this scanner on the Mac side.What they did is bundle in a 14-day trial of some third-party software that has its own connector to the Strobe. Unfortunately, with the price of the Strobe 500 + the price of this software, you might as well get the S1500 which at least has out-of-the-box direct support for the Mac without spending more money.

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!

I would think so, but I am using it on my mac running OS10.6, so I am not certain.

Sorry, I have a PC and know noting about Macs. I suggest contacting Epson. Good luck.

I have not used it personally, but apparently there aren't any official drivers yet for Mac. Like the other answers said there is 3rd party software that will allow it to work.

If your mac has minidisplay port yes! This can be used, I'm pretty sure that mac computer has it

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

I've pulled off photos and stuff from the reader to my MAC so I don't see why not. The program opens up a separate "icon" for the reader much like a flash drive. However, I have never tried it so I can't say for sure

Yes. It appears on the mac like an SD card reader, and the scanner dumps its output to the card. It does not work with Preview, Image Capture, or other scanner software. But it doesn't need it; it handles the scanning to the card itself.

Not really. It works but the image quality is fair. Not anything like a MacBook.

Yes, and it worked out fine for displaying images and else. But not the brightness adjustment and auto-rotate though. That's Mac's compativity issue, not the monitor's.

Some Macs can do this, but not all. They call it Target Display Mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924

Yes. We've used it for a nearly identical purpose. At least on OS X it shows up as a camera in the Hamgouts source selector.

Yes, this Epson Scanner works with OSX 10.6.8. That is the system I am running and my Epson works fine. I am running a MacBook Pro

Just got one and it works great, but no, it doesn't show up in Mac OS X as a drive. I'm using 10.4.6 and can't see it in the finder, disk utility, or in /Volumes/. Bummer.

Yes, mine scans fine with OS X 10.8.5, using Preview over the wireless link. No separate driver required.
