How easy is this to download to Mac OS X 10.9. 2? Would you buy this camera again?

I do not have a Mac but I have cut and pasted the whole folder files on the camera onto my PC and it transferred in seconds or minutes depending on how many pics I took. I would definitely buy this camera again. I don't even know how to use a point and shoot anymore :). It's perfect when I don't want to drag around the 7D or 5D but it takes really great pictures. I have done time lapse on it using a remote. I take it more on day trips and parties. Where I want the nice quality with some control. Its not my big cameras for sure but it's a wonderful little buddy to them.

Canon DPP software loads easily on the Mac for raw file conversion. I use Aperture in my work flow. You can easily use iPhoto for pictures and iMovie for video. This is the Mac's strength. Try to download DPP .dmg on your Mac from Canon's website. Best of luck.

I have a Mac and download all the time. I download to hard drive and not to iPhoto, but I'm sure it would be no problem. I love this camera. It's my second "G", but I have had many Canon cameras and products.

sorry no one has responded to you. ABSOLUTELY. I am a die hard Mac fan, and with this sony, it is so easy. You do need to buy a Firewire cable. But once you do, as soon as you hook it to your Mac, iMovie will automatically launch and you are on your way to making movies from footage. (this assumes you are on a current system such as Panther or Tiger...)

Absolutely-I have a Mac. It comes with a memory card, I just download the pictures from there.

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!

I don't think I"m going to be overly helpful here. I use a card reader to drop my photos onto my mac. Saves the camera batteries. Also, I have an 8 GB card and it is fine. Good luck!

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.

Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos? Yes, you can. Are you asking if you can wirelessly connect and automatically upload photos? Yes, if you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later. Be advised that wireless setup is challenging. Also, you will be required to use Canon's Camera Window application to transfer images; it's impossibly slow, even on a current iMac.Here are the best instructions for wireless setup...what they don't say is that in order to do the first step, you must have an empty card...http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201649400.html Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos?

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM

It works fine on my Macbook. I just import all of my videos and photos into Iphoto.

I personally used iMovie on my Mac. I couldn't open it with any other application. I couldn't use the files with windows either. Not very happy with that, but it does take good video. All I can suggest is iMovie.

I am sorry but I haven't used this camera on a Mac. Sorry for not being of any help.

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.

On the box it says direct connect requirements: Mac OSx v 10.3 or later with USB Software requirements for Olympus Viewer: Mac OSx v10.4.1 -v10.6 You should have no issues, it comes with a software CD-ROM that will help with the processing of images, but even iPhoto will allow download and basic editing of images as well as video download direct from the camera or from a card reader without the proprietary software. I looked through my manuals and didn't see a listing of requirements. The software included is comprehensive but very slow, frustratingly so. If you are not doing heavy editing and just sharing your pictures I would avoid it.

I've only had the camera a couple of days but it seems to work fine with my Mac when connecting using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. I haven't done any exhaustive testing but I've been able to connect and get video into iMovie and Final Cut Express. So so far, so good.

For a Mac, I simply connect it to my computer and turn on the camera. It automatically up loads.

Thank you for your response. I don't have a Mac. I wanted to convert to AVI for two reasons: I need to rotate video taken on vacation recently (now I know not to rotate my camera for video) and my new digital frame takes video in AVI only. I'm looking for a conversion program that will give me phone tech support. Apple will not since I don't have a Mac. Anyway, thanks again for your comments ... any other suggestions will be appreciated. Happy New Year, Ann
