Absolutely! You just need to wire up the pins on the camera to the desired I/O pins on the Mega. Check this link for a good how to:http://embeddedprogrammer.blogspot.com/2012/07/hacking-ov7670-camera-module-sccb-cheat.html?m=1

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM

No you can't. But the product it's amazing, strong Check the size of your camera before.DSRL and BMCC works fine!

final cut pro six on my brand new imac refuses to read this camera. all the settings are correct...i believe, and the four to six pin cable is in the proper orifices. does anyone know what the problem might be? i really, really, really, really want to log this footage.

I've only had the camera a couple of days but it seems to work fine with my Mac when connecting using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. I haven't done any exhaustive testing but I've been able to connect and get video into iMovie and Final Cut Express. So so far, so good.

Hi, To be honest I have not had a chance to use it yet. However I will say if your a avid computer user take the time to look up Camerarec Toby in You Tube. He has his own channel and is my and many other go to guy for recommendations. You may also search this site " digital.photorecommendations.com " , this is also Toby's web page. You can ask questions there or even go to his Face Book Page. He will answer any and all questions in a fair amount of time, I have asked him numerous questions just on settings for a certain camera shoot and he responded with articles and video for all my answers. Please I suggest to check him out for your answer.

I have this problem But I don't understand your solution, Bruce. Could you or someone explain it again please? You appear to be saying that if the camera is at something like a standard focal length you can choose both Macro and MF. But you can't - not on mine anyway! In my experience, the camera will not focus below 1ft. The image stays blurred and often the yellow central focus frame will display a question mark. Auto-focus does not work in Macro either - so to all practical purposes the camera has no Macro mode. If someone has a fix for this I'd be very interested.

thanks! this camera with macam is bit quirky but all in all works nicely (on the left usb port). works great with skype, and recording through macam itself (though there's no mic in the camera itself, so macam doesn't record any sound).

Subject: Re: Y. 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

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

Hi, This was my biggest concern in purchasing a new video camera, and I first purchased a JVC Everio one, which I quickly learned would not be natively compatible. The people at the Apple store told me to get a Canon FS 100 (the forerunner to this model), and when I saw the FS 200 coming out, I decided to wait. It was well worth it, and it is COMPLETELY compatible with Mac, but there IS a catch. You need to be running imovie 08 or 09. My Macbook is almost 3 years old, and imovie HD (the 06 version) did not work with the camera, and when I would connect it, it would open iphoto and then have no idea what to do with my movies. Imovie 09 is a great program, and worth the money since it is easier to use than iMovie HD AND has important updates like the ability to post directly to YouTube (the older programs involved an extremely complicated process where you had to change bitrate settings, UGH!). So to sum up, this IS the camera for mac and imovie users, but know that you will need to upgrade your system if you are running an imovie version that predates imovie 08. Also, I recommend getting a card reader when you buy your memory card. I got a 16 gig card on Amazon that came with a reader for $40 and it's amazing. You just pop it in the side, open imovie, and I was able to transfer 2 hours of video in about 8 minutes. LOVE IT!!

I am a more recent owner of this remarkable camera, and I know that I haven't come close to using it's capabilities. I would read more detailed infomation to help you with this decision.

Malin,I do believe it is supported by the software you mentuoned. Please let me know if there are any other questions you may have. This is a great little camera for the money.

Yes, at the time when I got it iMovie wasn't even recognizing this camera even though Sony was claiming it is compatible. I was pissed off with Sony because I was chatting Sony Tech and once he figured out he cannot help me anymore he just disconnected from the chat. I was on Lion that time but not sure if it is still the case. Things may have changed since then. I think I got it last year somewhere around same time..

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M
