Is this cam compatible with Mac?

I have had no trouble at all uploading to my Mac from this camera. I have worked in both iMovie and FCPX with no glitches at all.

I just made a 45 minute iMovie composition composed of 100% footage from this wonderful camcorder! Best video results I've seen coupled with the smoothest user interface I've seen!

Well what we do is remove the memory card to upload the video. We don't use the cd software that comes with it. And we have made some nice videos and movies on our mac with this camera.

Yes - you take out the SD card - and put into your MAC - goes right into iMovie - or iPhoto - whatever you want - but I don't think the cord works with MAC - b/c Mac has moved from Firewire to SD card...so I guess depends on your MAC -

Don't know, didn't try since I am a Mac person. However, I don't think it will since every camera I purchased had to specifically say it is either Mac or PC/Mac compatible. The iSight is specifically a Mac environment designed camera.

I have a mac with OSX 10.6.8...the camcorder is not compatible with my mac. However, I use both "Quick Time Player" and "HP Photosmart Studio" (I have a hp printer) for my Canon VIXIA HF and they both work great. By the way, this is a fantastic camcorder.

I am sorry to say. I really have no idea about iMac. This cam is working good with my Windows PC. Thanks

macam should allow you to use most webcams in OS X Tiger. Just download and install the software from here:http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/Here's their compatability list:http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php

The camera itself is not designed to connect to a computer. The Lukas viewer application (which is also used to configure the device and view recorded data from the included SD card) is only available for PC from what I can tell. If you've got Parallels or Boot Camp you should be able to run the software on your Mac.

Ummm...why does everyone say it's not Mac compatible? I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard and iMovie imports the clips with the USB cable.

Manual says IMovie '09 is supported. Sorry, I don't know anything about MACs so I don't even know what IMovie is! The software that comes with the camcorder is Windows only.

I found a review of this camera on Associated Media that mentions it is NOT Mac compatible.

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

Howard, I found this camera to be unusable and sent it back. I bought the dlink DSC 5020L and it works great...Mac OS compatible too.

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.

I have not had to use it with a Mac. But from what I've read it should be compatible

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

Well, I'll answer your question, cause I have been on line with AppleCare, and NO it does not work with MAC. Then, gee, wiz, I looked on the back of the box my Camcorder was in and it said is is only Windows . That is what I get for not researching better. Just got back from a trip and now need to find a Windows computer to download and hopefully edit my video. The other option is to purchase windows that can be also installed on the IMAC. Good luck to you... and me..
