Thanks. Yes I see it there, but like some other sites they are asking now more than the MSRP from Cannon. Although this is the closest I have found to the MSRP. I did find it one or two other places, but both were asking $300.All places asking the MSRP or below are out. Thanks for the info. This is almost close enough for me to purchase, depending on shipping costs.

Thanks - i did end up also e-mailing Canon and they said they are having a backorder issue. I am hoping it gets resolved soon. i did see last week when they were available and I am kicking myself for not grabbing it then.

Does anyone know why the 8800 is now so hard to find, everyone is backordered.

I hadn't heard that the 8800F is backordered or hard to find. As I mentioned in my post above, I bought from the on-line seller "CDW" about six months ago and, at that time, it was in stock and I got mine in about 2 business days. Have you contacted CDW yet?

I doubt that you will ever find a digital camera that does not work with a Mac (OS X and later). Macs were the first to use USB and tend to be the choice of most serious photographers and graphic artists.

I have been using the CanoScan 8800F for scanning slides and 35mm negatives. I am using an Intel-Based MacBook running Leopard 10.5.4. I used the drivers (newer) that I downloaded from the Canon site and was up and running in under 20 minutes. Very good product - especially with color slides. I have not had any need to scan above 3800 dpi myself - looks perfectly great at 2400.I had heard that the Epson was a bit slow and the software wasn't as good. The Canon software was easy to use and the alerts were helpful, in the event that I hadn't done something correctly.

Sorry, I am a life long Mac person, but I would think a printer of this brand and price point would be. Suggest you Google your question. Also you might try to find a PC users group online and post your question there.

I have a PC so I can't help with this question. I can say that I've read reviews of similar cameras that were purchased by Mac users and subjectively I would say that they seemed happy with it and had a relatively easy time using it with Mac. I'm not familiar with the various Mac programs so I can't tell you which to use to operate but if you search reviews for other endoscopes you'll probably find something helpful. There are 5 or 6 others that are very similar and run on the same program.

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.

my canons are all compatible with mac call canon support to ask if you are still concerned

dpreview.com does very extensive testing, you should check them out. I think a lot of the choice depends on what you want to do over your photography life as once you get a camera you start buying expensive lenses and become entrenched (Canon or Nikon). In my own experience, I've found Canon's formats to be a little more use friendly to non-professional photographers. But people who have been photographers for years, tend to gravitate to the Nikon standard as it has some better personal customization on the higher end.

I am interested in either the Canon 100 HS or 300 HS for an international trip. Size of course is an issue and I know both are compact. I have not been able to find info as to whether either of the cameras are compatible with Mac operating systems. Does anyone know?

I am having concerns about this too--ready to click purchase, but it sounds like a real headache to get into iPhoto. Did you ever get a response from Nikon about how to do this?If not, what are you doing? Connecting the card reader to the mac, copy-paste the files, then manually import to iPhoto to create libraries?Seems a bit like going back in time. My ancient Sony CyberShot P&S; works great with iPhoto.

I do not own a Mac so in this case I can not answer, however, if you contact a Tech at Canon.com 1-800-OK-CANON 1-800-652-2666 Monday-Friday 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. This is the best that I can do - sorry.

Yes the flashdrive works with Mac:) most flash drives work on all computers. There are only a few that don't. Like it's almost impossible to find ones that don't work on all. And yes it does indeed say canon. This thing is super cool, and I have used it in photo class on all the mac and PC computers.

Hi Judy.I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

Good question. I have just purchased the camera, because it has a short Mac section in the manual that seems to indicate that it is compatible. However, now that I've used it, i can't move the video to my Mac. Worthless!

It is compatible with mac it comes in fat32 format I formatted mine in exfat so it works with both my mac and pc. And yes it also has the word canon well my usb did anyways.

Hi i don't know how serious you are about photo editing but I have done it for years and find Photoshop Elements 6 to be excellent. I have used it for about a year now. It came out later that the one for windows so when windows came out with PE7 for windows I called adobe and asked them if it had more features in the windows version and he said that PE7 for windows was the same as PE 6 for mac because the mac version came out later it had all the new features first. It has many of the features of the much more expensive full version of photoshop. There are online tutorials to help you learn it and there is tech support. I bought it originally for under $100 and upgrades are cheaper. If you do a search you might find it cheaper. The new version of Iphoto is also very good. It comes free with the new macs or it is part of Ilife 09. I have looked into Adobe lightroom and Aperture 2 and have not been persuaded that they are necessary for me. PE6 for mac has raw support for many cameras . Hope that helps. Ron
