Is there a cord available that would allow me to attach the camcorder to my macbook and upload to that?

I don't know, only because I don't have a MacBook or know what kind of plug they require. Sorry

i have a new macbook pro (less than 4 months old) and I can upload just fine. I mainly use the sd card but the computer recognized the card even after formatting in the camera. a few times i went straight from cam to comp and it worked fine

Yea more or less. The camera comes with a USB cable built into it, it is on the handhold strap but is only a few inches long. Also you can use a longer USB that will plug in to the input port. I definitely suggest plugging the camera into the wall for power the whole time you are uploading. Then, if you are using imovie start your project and go to file/import from camera if footage is coming from camera, or import/movies if the footage is coming off your Mac. You will have other options from there to select. When you are done with your project exporting can be tricker to get the file type you want/need. Feel free to ask again at this point or go say hi to the Genius Bar at the macstore. :) Yea more or less.

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

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 -

Yes, I have a Mac and just take the memory card out of the camera, put it into my Mac and download all my videos.

Yes since I desperately needed a cord and it seems that Apple does not make the cord that was displayed in this ad.

There is a mini usb port on the side of the Q2. Plug that into your macbook's usb port. When you power up the Q2, 3 options will appear on the screen. Choose "card reader", and the Q2 will appear in the finder. You can access the videos from there.

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

Hello Phil,It DOES NOT come with the necessary cords, however, IT WORKS with a MICRO HDMI that you can PURCHASE for a reasonable price. If you own a MACBOOK RETINA with a HDMI port, it will WORK perfectly, I recommed however using VLC player to reproduce the video files to output both video and audio, since mirroring Browsers such as CHROME or SAFARI sometimes requires an extra way of output for the sound.If your mac DOES not have an HDMI port, you can buy and thunderbolt - HDMI adapter.REMEMBER: YOU WILL have to buy a MICRO-HDMI Cable for this Device, and a tripod (a small one) is also recommended.I hope this helped, best of luck.

yep, put one end in the usb port in the side of your macbook, and the other in the hdmi port on your TV, assuming your TV has an hdmi port. Works nice and looks great!

Yes but you might need an adaptor. Contact Sony. You download right from the camcorder or take out the sd card and put it into your computer just like any other sd card. They work in Mac and pc

Don´t think so. This unit takes VIDEO OUT vía thunderbolt and inputs to the TV. You need that takes S-VIDEO out and iputs to the MacBook. You need a S-VIDEO out to USB / thunderbolt adapter.

Yes, I have two cables that connect my camcorder to my computer. One is short and one is long; however, you will need to ask the company or the person you are buying your camcorder from if this cable is included with your purchase. Don't forget to get a camcorder with an external mic jack (for quality audio recording) since many of the newer camcorders I've seen don't have this feature.

Yes, it connects to the Mac's firewire port and can download footage directly into iMovie (if you want). I own this camera and use it with my Mac Mini, running OS 10.4
