iMovie 06, NOT iMovie 08. If you upgraded to iLife '08, don't waste your time or money.

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!

Yes you can use with a MAC but, this is a low end camera with bad video. You are better off getting a higher end camera.

The Pixela software referenced by C. Suntra did the trick for me, although it does require that extra step of interpreting the footage into iMovie-friendly format. I've gone back and forth about keeping or returning the camera since it's not Mac-friendly, but have decided to keep it. I've learned that there really aren't any current hard drive camcorders on the market that are Mac-friendly. The Amazon price was the best I found after shopping around.

It works perfectly with our MacBook running Mountain Lion. We chose not to install the software that came with the camera as our computer settings open up iPhoto anytime a camera is attached. The wireless works best if you just transfer them to your iPhone and then email or sync when you're back at your computer.

The 3 answers I saw from others are pretty good, except I have to disagree with the person who said it is bad video. It is a low priced camera and the video is not bad. It isn't high quality HD, but it is acceptable for the price. I don/t have a MAC, but the other answers answered that. It does come with a cable giving you audio & video out that can plug into a DVD recorder, so you can make DVD copies without using a computer.

I use with PC. The factory spec say it is compatible with Mac. One of the amazon stores is much cheaper on the price. It's a bulk camera without install CD. But I prefer to go to the logitech web site and download the latest version anyway and never use the CD. Save money!

I don't own a Mac, but I believe you can still use the cameras. I use them from my I phone 4.

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.

I just bought this camera, plugged it in today to my Macbook Pro, used the dv/firewire cable. It works fine with iMovie with no tweaking. But downloading is in actual time, so slow. just rewind your tape, put the little wheel on view and hit import.

Yes, I have a Mac and you can import photos and videos into iPhoto, and do whatever you'd like with them in iPhoto.

Can,t comment on MAC compatibility of software. I use a PC and take the SD card out and plug it to download the JPG files. I like the features on this camera especially the panorama stitch of three. Highly recommended after I killed the predecessor with fine Australian dust.

It does work super well with Mac, depending what tool you are syncing wiith you can get the best of it...

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

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.
