Mac Compatible Cameras?

I'm looking to buy a digital camera and hoping to avoid an expensive mistake. I know Casio is not a good choice because of it's video format.
Are there other clinkers to steer clear of?
Are there any that shine?
Bob

Bob,
I have found that the Kodak easyshare series has been a winner for me. The only problem I have found is that the Easyshare printer dock plus no longer works with iPhoto6. To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried any other camera, so I really don't have anything to compare it to, but they work well.

  • Which video camera is mac compatible and suitable to record professional quality tutorials to be views on the internet?

    Background:  I want to make proffesional quality video tutorials to be accessed by other internet users.  They will be filmed from a static overhead position.  My budget is £400 but if I can get a camera for less that would be great.  I have done my best to research which camera to buy and I am stuck (mainly because I have no knowledge of this field) with a few issues.
    I thought I had found a suitable camera - Panasonic HCV-700 but I have identified a couple of issues surrounding Mac compatibility.
    I would really appreciate any experience or advice you can give me.
    I will be using imovie to edit my video and will probably add the sound after editing.
    I understand this camera can film in iframe and that that makes it easily downloaded to imovie to edit.  If I do this will the quaility be high enough to be viewed on a PC or Mac - or other smaller devices?  I understand from what I have read iframe is not HD but is higher than SD.
    Or is it better to film in another format (which as I understand it will need to have something done to it to be editable in imovie (not sure what or how much time it will add to the process of producing a video)
    I think my question's are:
    Is the camera above suitable for my needs as a Mac user - to produce proffesional quality tutorials?
    If it is not - what do you suggest?
    If it is which format should I film in to record videos for internet viewing?
    If it is not iframe then do I need other software to be able to edit in imovie?
    How much extra time do you think this will add to production times?
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated - I am starting to tear my hair out trying to research this!

  • Mac compatible web cam

    Hello all,
    I am moving across the pond to London and am looking to get a web cam so I can chat with my family. Unfortunately the iSights are no longer being made and are virtually impossible to track down. I have been looking to see if I can find another mac compatible webcam but am having a difficult time. If anyone could suggest a solid web cam that would work with my Powerbook, that would be awesome!
    Regards!

  • Is there a good but free word processor that's Mac compatible?

    I don't know where else this question would belong so I just put it here. So, my question is: Is thier a free (but decent) word processor that's Mac compatible that I can download off of the internet? I've already used up my free trial of "Pages" that came with my iMac. I'd also like it to be able to save and print off text documents and also be PC compatible as well.

    Hi, you already have Text Edit, I use BEAN//it's pretty good, but you can Google your requirements and there are quite a few "freebies"

    You can get apps for a Mac (and the iPs device) that allows you to use the iOS device as a webcam.

  • Mac Compatible External DVD Burner Not Compatible?

    I just recently bought the New Samsung Slim External DVD Writer SE-S084. It does not respond at all. It gives me no desktop icon when I plug it in via USB(which is it's only power source).
    It claims on the box that it is MAC Compatible, OS requirement for MAC is version 10.4.6 Tiger. I'm updated to 10.4.11 so shouldn't be a problem there. In my search I came across somebody who had the same issue with the same Samsung product, and with a firmware update recommended by another poster, their problem was resolved. Everything worked fine.
    Both of my EFI and SMC firmware is updated. Could it be I have to reinstall the firmware?
    I also tried to use PatchBurn with no avail. Do I need PatchBurn?
    I am so lost. Can anyone help me with this? It seems like a simple solution has to be out there, I just can't find it on my own.
    Thanks!

    I am a little bit miffed at the fact that you have a newer Macbook and you have a problem with the Optical drive. Did you restart the computer and select OSX instead of Windows, then open Safari and then go to Samsung's web site, and support then find your model of external and download the drivers for it. They should open and run automaticlly, if not they will give you the instructions on how to download them. When you do this make sure you have the external plugged in. I would also make sure that you are plugged into the USB-2 port, and not the USB-1 port.
    If all that fails Google for your model Samsung and type in SAMSUNG EXTERNAL SLIMLINE DRIVERS FOR MAC. then hit enter. many times you can find opensource drivers there that are better than factory drivers.
    Check as well and make sure there isn't a recall or a fix from Apples Site for your Internal Optical drive. It simply doesn't make since that you have a failure on this newer optical drive.
    Did you Run Macjanitor, or Cache OutX, or Onyx, and did you repair permissions. Any one of these or a combination could fix your problem if the optical drive isn' fried.
    Any of the software mentioned is FREE and you can Google for them.

  • Mac compatible scanner and ocr

    I have a canoscan lide 35 scanner and it works fine, but I can't get image capture to play nice with it.
    Any fixes for image capture?
    I have the drivers installed and it operated the scanner but Scan Gear doesn't work well to capture scans either. Does anyone know of any good software that would work with this hardware or is there any good Mac compatible flatbed scanner ?
    I primarily scan text and would like good OCR software also. Any suggestions would be welcome.
    Regards

    Hiya,
    I am using a Canon Lide 210 and have used Canon's own "Solutions EX" that should have been on the CD that came with your scanner. It works perfectly (I have just tried) and converts it into "text" or "pdf". With "text" you can work easily.
    Have you tried this?
    NB: with any OCR, you will find, it's not faultless (close characters together are often "misspelt" as a different word, but textedit (where my OCR scans automatically open), highlights any typos errors in red underline.

  • Is the Logitech Webcam C930e fully Mac compatible?

    Hi:
    I'm looking for a quality webcam that is fully Mac-compatible, which is to say that not only will my Mac Book pro running 10.7.5 recognize the camera, but that I'll also be able to use the camera and software for full functionality.
    I'll use it to teach piano with skype or some other similar type of software, so the mountabilty/portabilty of the cam to get a good view of the piano is critical.
    I'm also wondering how one might use 2 cams in tandem, switching between views of me speaking and demonstrating at the piano as needed, but at the moment that's a side technical issue that I'm guessing would not be difficult to overcome.
    Thanks in advance for your responses,
    Michael

    The Logitech support page says that the Logitech Webcam C930e is compatible with Macs running 10.7.x or greater so it should be compatible with your MacBook Pro.
    If I were you, I would email Logitech support about the possibility of using a two-camera setup (or if there's software that offers PiP for Mac). See -> http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/webcam-c930e-business?crid=405.
    Good luck,

  • Reviews or feedback on WIRELESS or ETHERNET mac compatible webcams

    Hi, to be clear not interested in USB webcams - I have a logitech 9000 - but am looking to put a web cam in another room (a security cam for the front of our home) running with securityspy (bensoft.com) so it isn't near the computer, hence needs to be either a) a wireless compatible model or one that can plug into an ethernet port with a networked address. I am aware of this great site that lists compatible cams
    http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    but there are no listings of wireless or networked cams. Any takers on this one? And respectfully I'm not looking for "I think it might work" or "have you googled" - I'm trying to find someone who's used these things, found a solution perhaps etc.

    802.11b/g/n ... does not matter.
    You can have high interference from a lot of neighboring networks in a dense urban area. Keep in mind that the airwaves are a shared medium and 802.11 protocols use the access method CSMA/CA (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriersense_multiple_access_with_collisionavoidance) This means that the Apple TV can at times get no access to the network even though signal strength is high.
    If you can get a direct Ethernet connection to your router it will be much more reliable in an area where there are a lot of other 802.11 signals.
    If you really want to run wirelessly (or must) ...
    1. The 2.4 GHz band has 11 channels. But 802.11 uses 5 of them at the same time and the channel number is just a center channel. So in reality, there are only 3 non-overlapping channels available: 1, 6 and 11.
    2. Do you have a microwave running? Microwaves run on channel 6 (2.450 GHz). Try either channel 1 or channel 11 for your access point (AP).
    3. Most people use their AP out of the box on channel 6. Again, channels 1 or 11 have lower interference.
    4. Does your AP have an external antenna jack? If so, maybe you can find an antenna with more gain. If the antenna is directional, it can be aimed at your Apple TV and thus reduce the interfere from other networks.
    5. At last resort, you can also get Ethernet to run through your house wiring using powerline networking products.

  • Is there a 1.3mp Mac-compatible webcam?

    I realise that this is slightly off-topic, but it's the only place I can find to post my question!
    I need to find a webcam that can take stills at 1.3mp resolution but is also (of course) Mac compatible. I would of course get an iSight, but the 640x480 resolution is too low for what I need.
    So far I've drawn a blank - please can someone help?

    I'd recommend looking for a camcorder with a firewire connection. Such as this one: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SYDisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=DCRTRV280&Dept=cameras&CategoryName=d cc_DICamcordersDigital8HandycamCamcorders

  • USB Port=Mac-compatible?

    A stills digital camera with a USB port is always Mac-compatible? If this is not the case, how can I be sure of said compatibility?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Ulises. The Powershot SD600 is listed as an OS X-compatible device in this list; a brief note in this article explaining what that means says:
    "...when you plug in your digital camera to the USB port, Mac OS X senses the connection. The preinstalled Image Capture driver tells the Mac you plugged in a camera, and then launches iPhoto to import your pictures."
    So you should be able to import pictures directly into iPhoto via the SD600's USB cable. In the worst case — if you find that to be untrue, and you can't figure out a remedy — a $10 card reader will solve the problem. Even if there is no problem importing directly from the camera, a card reader may be desirable, since it would let you perform the import process without running down the camera's battery to power the transfer.

  • Compatible Cameras?  Canon Digital IXUS V3

    On the iLife 06 list of compatible cameras, I found Canon Digital IXUS V2 but not V3. I currently have iLife 04 and a Canon IXUS V3. If I upgrade to iLife 06, can I no longer use the IXUS V3? Or if I can, how would I do that? Thanks for all help.

    Chuck001,
    If your camera is not located in the supported list,then it may likely not import directly into iphoto.
    Another viable option is to use your app named image capture and download to your desktop and then drop into iPhoto.
    Good luck,
