Re: Digital cameras, pocket camcorders and the Mac
I have to ad, I used the Kodak with a 2.66 Mhz iMac, so It does not reflect any OERFROMANCE on a G4 or lesser hardware Mac. The kodak is also takes HD movies so... But, I have used many cameras with the G4 and had no problem: Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, etc (an older USB only cameras, before the advent of memory cards for cameras).

Re: Digital cameras, pocket camcorders and the Mac
I am using a Kodakwho is similar to the Flip and works perfectly with the Mac. Any camera should be compatible with a Mac, they are all the same connections, etc. They usually come with a cable that attaches to the camera and the USB port of the computer for easy transfer. Or, you use a USB card reader that attache sto the mac USB port and insert the memory card in the reader. Either way, it is very easy.
