Camcorders and compatability with Macs
I am considering purchasing a camcorder and thought that a Panasonic SDR-H85 appeared a good choice. However I would appreciate any advice on how compatible it, or any other, would be with OS10. My setup is Imac 2.93 and OS10.6.2 Thanks Darrel -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Camcorders and compatability with Macs
Hi Darrell, its really a matter of compatibility with software, and iMovie can handle all formats, including high definition AVCHD. imovie opens an import window when it detects that you have plugged your video camera into a USB port and its turned on. There are lots of other things to know, but all video cameras (except JVC) use video formats that are compatible with the Mac and Windows. cheers, Susan.

RE: Camcorders and compatability with Macs
Ok, I spotted this thread earlier and wondered if my Sony HDR-SR10E will be auto-recognised by the Macbook (Snow Leopard) when I plug it into the USB port - for the very first time tonight. I haven't even run imovie yet on the Macbook. I suppose I have imovie - is it part of the standard OSX 10.6.X suite? I think the Sony model I have is AVCHD format and I was disappointed with using it on my PC prior to getting the Macbook in December '09. Will I need to load the specific Sony software or is imovie all things to this camera? Cheers Peter..
