Yes, you will be able to download pictures to your mac. You can use iPhoto, or you can use the Canon-supplied software. (The Canon software rocks.)

I'm also trying to decide if the Canon XS or XSI is right for me. I own the original 6.1mp Canon digital Rebel slr and am wondering if now is a good time to upgrade? I used to shoot primarily landscapes while traveling, but am doing more portraits now that I have kids. The Digic III processor definitely caught my attention, but I'm wondering how much of a difference in the cameras will I notice?

Good Morning Thomas! I was so happy to read your post on Amazon. I just purchased a 1 Gig XD Fujifilm card. I have precious Christmas video on the card and can't get it off. Now, I understand that I'm not alone. Did you ever find a way to transfer your video to your pc - or burn it to a disk? I'm leary of "erasing" the video until I'm sure that I can't retrieve it. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!Lauri

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.

Incredibly easy, all you do is plug the camera into the USB port of the laptop and the computer should ask you which photos you would like to download --that's the story with my macbook at least! I didn't even have to install any special software. I assume inserting the camera's memory card into the computer would prove just as simple.

I've tried to upload it to my Mac and it does not recognize the camcorder at all!! It is so frustrating! anyone know what I am doing wrong?

David; I really don't know about the Mac, but I can tell you that I love that camera. It is always on whenever I drive, it is mounted behind my rearview mirror, so I don't even know it's there, and once you learn how the software works it's pretty simple to save any important scenes on an SD card. My only criticism would be of the users manual. It is not especially well done. But it can be figured out.

My iMAC has a slot in the back that the SD card fits. then it is just a matter of picking the pictures you want to transfer. I know this also works the same way with a Dell laptop. otherwise, use the cable that comes with the camera and plug it into an USB slot. either way, it is very easy.

I'm glad to know that Robbie(below) has been able to transfer photos. So far, I have not, but I probably don't know how to do it correctly or my computer is too old. Good luck. I love the camera, tho.

its a widely known issue - macs dont recognise memory card formatted by this camera. it's a joke trying to get files onto iMovie...

Often, the Mac will simply just work with devices, but at least one reviewer has already tried it with some disappointing results. However, it is likely that if you set it to save files into the SD card, you could import the files from the disk into iphoto. I use iphoto only rarely, but under linux, digikam automatically recognizes that drives added that have lots of picture (sd cards from cameras for example) and will offer to load the pics into digikam. I believe the same is true for other linux-based photo management programs, and I would only expect iphoto to equal or best the linux programs, although I could be wrong....

The photos are captured on an SD memory card (not included) which can then be uploaded onto a computer. If there's an SD slot on your computer, insert the SD card into it. If not, you may need a SD Card to USB converter. All photos can be viewed on the provided Nikon software (NX2 photo viewer/editor) which is PC and Mac compatible. Hope this helps

I have OSX Mavericks on my Mac, and all I did was plug the camera into the usb port, and iPhoto did the rest. No need to upload or download anything.

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

All the major camera companies camera will work with macs. Take pictures..plug it in to your mac...and iphoto will take over !!! My family ONLY uses macs, and our Sony, Nikons, Canon, and Samsung Xacti all work GREAT with macs.

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.
