I do not know. I have a HP. Try to go to the website for cannon and read the specifications. Hope this helps.

Really nice hs pics. I did buy the cannon mike that mounts on top on the shoe and if u have the extra $150 I think it is well worth it audio wiseThe mic is made for the camera. We use it to record our church services so I needed better sound than the built in micDave

Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"if you want a sample from the camera, you can go to facebook's Hot SpringsJazz Society and look at the u-tube videos of our Vocal-Rama event .... all6 or so of the u=tubes were taken by the camera and attached mic. Theacoustics in the Garvan Gardens Chapel aren't the best, but I thought thesounds came through reasonably well....Dave

Yes - I use iMovie with this camera. I take out the SD card and put into my MacBook Pro - and then input into iMovie :) Hope this helps - I really love this camera.

Not sure if you have received a response but unfortunately I cannot answer the question. Supposedly in the description it is compatible with all macs. But I will say that it's tough to get the camera pointed in the right direction. Where the camera attaches to the base is pretty loose. The wire easily affects where it points. Video quality is excellent though.

I don't know that much about the Mac; however, the instruction for the camera indicate that it is Compatible with PC or Mac.

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 you can put it on the Mac. The file format for video are AVI and photos are JPEG. You might need to use another program free at the MacApp store to convert files for iMovie, but you definatly can put files on Mac to share.

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 have an intel based mac and the hg10 cam. I was unsure weather the cam would work when I bought it. Best buy said it would and told me if it didn't I could bring it back if it didn't. It does work with Imovie8 but DOES NOT work with previous versions of imovie. You must have or purchase Ilife 08 to make the HG10 work with Imovie.I put a first test movie up on utube with the cam and software and it worked perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXeFjOfewiI

Yes, the Image Browser software for MAC is available on the Canon website. You probably don't need it, as the newer Mac OS will usually let you import the files directly within iMovie

I don't have a MAC but that refers to the operating system not file formats. So, I don't think there would be any compatability issues. The camera transfers the photos/videos in standard formats.

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

Seeing as how the iMac has a USB port(technically a USB 3 port, but it is backwards-compatible with USB 2, which is what this cam has), this cam will work with it.

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.

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

I use mine on my Mac with iMovie software... iMovie is sooo easy to use compared to most, I would recommend it... Of course, you need a 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.

The Sony HDR-HC3 4MP does work with the Mac, in fact, that's the computer that I use. It works with Imovie and Final Cut Pro without any hassle via Firewire. If you have one of the new Macs, they don't have any Firewire, but they sell USB to Firewire 800 adapters and you can also buy a Firewire 400 (the conector of the camera) to Firewire 800 and conect it to the Usb to Firewire 800 adapter.
