Does this camera work with a MAC computer? Do I need special software?

I've been using it on a Mac for a little over a year, and can recommend it with only one or two caveats. First, the analog-to-digital conversion options are more limited on a Mac than they are on a PC. I found the EZ Cap converter works for me. Second, I'm using it to monitor a bluebird nest box, and wanted to stream live video from it, and I can't get the Mac (both an Air and a MacBook) to even recognize it as a connected device. Can still get the video feed directly on a computer or TV, though. Still don't know the answer to that one, but all in all, the camera transmits excellent quality video.

This camera is so easy to use with a Mac. I simply remove the SanDisk card and put it into the SanDisk slot on my MacBook Pro. If your computer doesn't have a SanDisk slot, you can buy a card reader that plugs into the usb port (can get one for less than $10.) Another option is to attach via the USB cable that comes with the camera. This is a very easy to use camera.

Actually, you may be in luck. Check this out, it's a nice list of PC webcams and the drivers necessary for them to work on a mac:http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html"Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX - requires special pre-release macam driver."Found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44375&package;_id=176091&rele;ase_id=434750

The camera uses standard UVC drivers so it "should" work on your Macbook Pro. The included software won't work, but the camera should work with Skype or whatever you use it with.

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.

Yes. it does work on a Mac. That's what I use - Mac. And this is the 'best' dash cam I've found out there and the shipping time was only nine (9) days. Not six (6) weeks as they allowed. I placed two (2) orders with this company and both times the package arrived within nine (9) days.

Hi!It does work with a mac. You just have to go to the Canon website, and from there you can download all of the mac drivers and a whole mac manual comes with it on the website. I just installed it on my iBook and it works great!

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

Not that I know so far. Unit did not come with English instructions. I have not been able to connect it with a Mac although it may be possible. I just don't know how. However, the camera does have playback options, and you can "lock" a video recording so that you won't overwrite or accidentally erase it.

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 don't have a Mac but I assume it should work just fine with a Mac. Great camera.

Yes, it works fine with a Mac. I purchased one about a year ago. A bit of fiddling with adjustments and I've been getting very good scans.

Yes. On Mac use image capture app and use preview to convert to anything you want. On pc use included software in box.

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.

I believe that the software that comes with the camera has a "MAC" option for installation. The image files that are produced by this camera work in the "MAC" platform.
