Rating : - Not Mac compatible
I am using this camera, and it is nice. However, my biggest gripe is that it is not Mac compatible. Many creative types use a Mac, which comes with very nice movie software. I have both Macs and PCs, but would have preferred to use my Mac.

Because it wasn't compatible, I purchased Sony's Vegas, but would have been much happier using iMovie.
