MAC Compatible? Does anyone know if the pics on this camera can easily be transferred onto a MAC computer?

The most reliable way to transfer photos from any brand of camera to any type of computer is NOT with a cable, it is with a USB card reader. Just put the SD card into the card reader and plug the card reader into a USB port on your computer. Use the software on your computer to import the photos to your photos folder.

I'm sorry, but I don't know if this camera is Mac compatible. I usually don't use the software and just upload files to my computers. (Windows XP and Windows 7) This camera has awesome quality and has a light so in somewhat darker places it still takes great video. I had one before that broke and I went out immediately and bought JVC again. Love this camera!!!!!

It is, to a point. I plugged it in to several of our Macs (an iMac G3, a G4, and an Intel Macbook), and in each case the camera's internal memory showed up on my desktop, just as a USB flash drive would. The pictures can be transferred to the the computer by drag and drop, which is good enough for us. In no case, however, was I able to get iPhoto or Image capture to recognize the camera directly, and of coarse the included Windows-based software doesn't work.

I accidentally answered yes to this question, however, I can't seem to find any mention of Mac compatibility on their website. So, I'm going to have to go with no. Sorry.

I do not have a Macbook. But this camera works perfectly with a Mac G5 and a Mac G6. Both of these are desk tops.

I also have a MAC and the P80 and my pictures and videos are uploaded to IPhoto with no problems. In fact it is very simple to do.

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 can't answer that. I don't have a Mac or the software that came with the camera

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

not really, there is a default software in the Mac, just like in windows that can transfer photos to your Mac.

Yes. On Mac use image capture app and use preview to convert to anything you want. On pc use included software in box.

I don't know that much about the Mac; however, the instruction for the camera indicate that it is Compatible with PC or Mac.

Both of my Coolpix cameras were able to transfer pictures to I-Photo on my Mac. I said "were" because both cameras are now in the landfill. The connector for the charging cable is very fragile and breaks easily. Once that happens, it costs as much to repair the connector as the camera is worth.

I went on the Fisher Price site and it said this: Photo editing software is not Mac-compatible, but you can connect this camera directly to your Mac to transfer images.

If your Mac has an SD card reader that is the easiest way to import your photos. It will automatically open iPhoto and you can import them.

Yes, this works with a Mac. I just load Photo Booth and select the USB camera.
