The full spec sheet is here:

And NO, it doesn't have Firewire Out, only USB and Composite
There's a full review and some user comments(1) here:

  • Will apple change its approach towards flash now that Steve jobs is out of the picture?

    Sparked by the talks around the question of whether Apple is going to integrate the flash technology in its products now that Steve jobs is no longer with us, I decided to get your views on that topic. Personally I think that if they won't integrate they are risking a serious drop in revenue from the sale of their mobile products, since the Android platform does provide full flash support, and Windows mobile is going to move in that direction as soon as they get some traction in the global mobile market. The question is will they risk market share loss and stick to their current philosophy, or will they finally give in to the market forces out there?
    I would love to hear your thoughts on that topic!

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • I am 13 and I am very enthusiastic about Apple. At the moment I am reading a Steve Jobs auto-biography and I noticed something that Steve Jobs did in his early life was join the Hp explorers club.  Are there any companies who still have clubs?

    I really want to start making electronics as I plan to do a course on the subject
    I would be so grateful if you can answer my question

    Good catch! Yes there was a time when many companies and other organizations did that sort of thing. Now not so much.

  • Can iMovie preferences be set for a SD 480 res video camera, my footage looks like crap expect in FCP7

    having issues with iMovie 11 importing form my standard def camera. Can 480 be set. Not shooting in HD.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, David,
    I wouldn't say that external iSight is fragile either, but I did previously post the following opinion to
    Henry in an earlier thread when he mentioned the possibility of substituting an external iSight for a "digital video camera":
    You are certainly free to choose how you use your Mac and iSight. However, before built-in iSight was introduced, users often posted that their external iSights had stopped working during or after traveling or long storage. Although I have found no technical data that supports this, I believe that external iSight is less protected against shock, vibration, dust, and humidity than my digital camcorders. If you expect that your video interviews will involve significant travel with or movement of the external iSight, I think that using a camcorder for recording your interviews would be wiser.
    I am not certain whether this comment is what Henry interpreted as "fragile", but other readers, including those who have a choice of using an irreplaceable external iSight or their digital camcorder, might want to consider the above when choosing which camera to use for a given video task.

  • Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

    Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1?  I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video.  Now the program will not see the camera as a source.  Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.

  • Problem connecting a Panasonic PV-DC152 Video Camera to iMovie

    Hi
    we have an 8 year old mini DV Panasonic video camera. (PV-DC152-K) We recently bought an iMac, and I would like to transfer some video from the vid. camera to the computer via a 9 to 4 pin firewire connector. iMovie doesn't recognize the camera when we plug in the firewire. Any advice on how to get the software to recognize the video camera and subsequently transfer the video from the camera to the iMac?? Please and thanks.

    Based on the Amazon specs, it may be possible to load the videos onto an SD Memory card, and load that in a Mac compatible SD card reader that you can plug by USB. MPEG-2 playback component can be bought from the Apple Store for Quicktime, and MPEG2Streamclip can playback said MPEG-2 video free.

  • Video cables Steve Jobs used??

    What kind of video cables did steve job used when showing the iPhone on big screen, showing the entire iPhone screen ?

    We have no clue. The cables were probably standard cables like the AV component cable, or the composite cable. The difference is that steve was using special iPhones which allowed him to use video out capabilities across all screens. This is not something that can be done with a normal iPhone.

  • Importing video from 8mm video camera to iMac

    Hi. I guess this topic may have been aired before but I would be very grateful for some help. I want to import video to iMovie on my iMac from my old 8mm Panasonic video camera. iMovie help section covers this as follows
    "To convert video in 8 mm, Hi-8, VHS, or SVHS format for use in iMovie HD, you need a special converter with standard S-Video and RCA input/output ports for video and audio, and a FireWire (IEEE 1394) input/output port."
    So do I just need a cable to connect camera and Mac, or is there some other bit of conversion kit I need? If just a cable any ideas where I can get one from (preferably UK)? I have not had any luck with this so far. Thanks for any ideas

    I finally tried importing the 8mm tapes from my Sony TRV-330 into iMovie HD and it worked. Really seems strange to me why Apple would not make iMovie '08 backwards compatible with analog 8mm tapes imported using a digital camcorder.
    I doubt that Apple made the program less compatible with your camcorder on purpose. More like, in their effort to add compatibility with AVCHD, HDD, and DVD camcorders, something was changed which affects you and a number of other users. Given time, I expect they will locate the problem and fix it. The quest is, who long will it take. Be sure to post a feedback regarding your problem. They people who do this, the more likely they will take note and find a solution to this inconsistency between iMovie HD and iMovie '08.
    I'm wondering if I can skip the second step if the video is already on my hard drive, or does it need to be saved in iMovie HD format for iMovie '08 to be able to import the video at all?
    Well, I probably would have gone about it somewhat differently. If you don't plan to do any editing in iMovie HD, I would probably have tried VIDI (free) first. It is a dedicated DV "capture" utility of about the same vintage as your camcorder. It should allow you to import/store your DV files where you want in "plain sight" of the Finder rather than in iMovie HD's project package. It still imports in real time so no savings here.
    Then you would have the option of using them in any editor or even making preliminary cuts of your files in either QT Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or any similar utility. The idea here is to discard everything you know you won't want and save time when it comes to generating "thumbnails" (which sometimes seems to take forever) in iMovie '08 when you actually move or copy the files into iMovie '08 which should take almost no time at all if the source files are on the same drive as your events folder and you use the "Move" rather than "Copy" option. (I.e., a "Move" action only requires updating the VTOC as to the files physical location via a changed path as opposed to a "Copy" which actually has to re-write the data to your hard drive. This can save a fair amount of time if done right. Unfortunately, there is no way to get around "thumbnail" generation.
    Another possible tip would be to import a series of moderately sized files to iMovie '08 rather than a single, large one. This can save time in the event that an associated thumbnail file becomes corrupted and you have to force iMovie '08 to regenerate them at some later time. (I.e this seems to be a common problem for some users, but I have only experienced it once, myself, thankfully. ("Knock on wood.")
    In any event, that is about all I can think of for now. Good Luck.

  • I've imported from a video camera and the files on the laptop are not playing the sound, is there any way to retrieve it?

    I have just uploaded a large number of files from a panasonic video camera on to imovie. I have never had this problem in the past, but when I try to play back the files on my laptop there is no sound. I have tried increasing the sound and normalising via the audio settings, and the sound is playing fine on the video camera. Is there anything I can do?

    I have also checked that the files are MOV not MPEG etc

  • I can see no information for uploading my edited tape to a DV Video Camera in line with the process include in V3 of Elements

    In V12 of Elements I can see no process for uploading my edited work to the tape in my DV Panasonic Video Camera (NV GS500- 10 years old). This was possible in V3. In V12 numerous video standards are quoted for various destinations but nothing for DV Camera tap drive. Has this facility been removed in favour of more modern social media destinations etc?

    OK Many thanks for your help. I am getting closer to my goal. I think I have another problem in that the PC does not recognise my DV connection to the Camera. In line with the process for V3 I have just purchased a Firewire to USB3 conversion cable which my supplier suggests removes the need for a physical 1394 port as the PC detects what is connected  to the USB3 port but WIN DV says "no device connected " Also the PC does not give the usual sound when devices are connected. My old PC had a physical 1394 port which I successfully used to download my edited work to the camera via the DV camera port. If you have any advice re the validity of the statement that the conversion cable is sufficient to download to the DV port on the camera I would appreciate it
    Regards

  • QuickTime compatible video camera?

    In frustration with Apple's dropping of the iSight Cameras and no word of a replacement, I looked desperately for a web-cam solution for my PowerBook 15 and my Mac Mini.
    I will be working away from home and the ability to video chat with the family will be wonderful, IF I can find a substitute camera that will WORK with the Mac's. My MacBook allows the family to see me in all the methods we have tried, but we need to "turn the camera's on them" so to speak.
    In some forum (here? TUAW?) I read that a digital video camera with firewire and "QuickTime" compatibility will be a great substitute, but what is meant by QuickTime compatibility? I have a new Panasonic video camera, and wonder if it will work.

    Hi BrianDubya,
    Any Firewire DV output (6 pin to 6pin) Camcorder
    Any Firewire Web cam
    Any USB cam that has Mac drivers and this Utility
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
    The chances are that any USB cam is going to have
    Windows drivers (if you need them for a Intel)

    I love Macs.
    I came in from out of town and tried all three of my computers, 2 PowerPCs Macs and one Intel MacBook with the video camera and all I have to do is plug the camera in.
    Bada Bing!! The Panasonic PV-GS250 works everytime with Yahoo Messenger, Skype, and iChat.
    After the 2-1/2 hours I spent "connecting" a new HP Laptop and new HP printer and getting it communicating and on-line (THAT's TWO and A HALF HOURS!!) I am glad I discovered Apple Inc products.
    Thannks for your help in this!

  • IPad camera connector and Video cameras

    Anyone has connected a video camera to the iPad through the camera connector and transferred videos?
    Or transferred videos from a digital camera or on the SD card to the iPad?
    Just wondering if it can be done.

    I have done it successfully. However, for it to work the file format of the photos and videos have be supported by the iPad. Not all are. I have a Panasonic Video camera and video format is not supported so the I can't import it. It dose however import stills fine. ALso, the file structure in the camera has to have the photos and videos in a folder titled "DCIM". I have an old camera that does not transfer since its folder is named differently.

  • Steve Jobs and his magical powers!

    I have found two things I can't do in iWeb but Steve Jobs can...
    1) When I drag a photo album onto the page iWeb asks if i want to place all the photos in that album. If you click 'no' it doesnt do anything, if you click 'yes' it sprays your site with all the pics in that album.
    When Steve did it in the macworld webcast the album turned into a button (without an alert) which when activated starts a slideshow of all the pics in that album.
    Why doesnt mine do that?
    2) When I 'manually' create a slideshow and go to view it, instead of the slick looking black background with reflections etc that Steve Jobs gets, I get a crappy 'Quicktime 5' lookalike window thats about as appealing as treating sunburn with a dose of sandblasting. Whats going on?

    The behaviour you describe doesn't apply when you drag to a Photo page, which is probably what Steve was demonstrating. These have a Start Slideshow button already on the page. When you drag your photo album to the placeholder area your images are laid out in a grid of thumbnails and you can edit the captions and change the style of the thumbnail frames.
    As said by the other poster, you only get the black background and reflection and transparent controls when you publish to .Mac, but there are options available for overriding the HomePage-style slideshow which iWeb defaults to when published to a local folder, as explained in this topic:

  • Third Party Video Camera Wants To Zoom

    I use a Panasonic video camera connected via Firewire, when using iChat (4). Every few minutes the image it picks up of me zooms in, and then after a moment, it zooms back out. I have no idea what controls this, but it is driving me nuts.
    Any thoughts what might be going on and how I can solve this problem?

    Hi,
    Some DV Camcorders have demo modes.
    Some of these include showing you all the editing whizzy things but this sounds like it is showing you other features.
    Check it is not stuck in a Demo mode.

  • Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I would like to send to Apple for use in his honor. I prefer Color

      I would like to send Apple a Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I found on Google. it's the same picture Steve Jobs Biography that 
    Walter Isaacson wrote. except it's in color. What I did was use my Drawing Pad Program to bring in the picture and then I brought in a splash I croped with Steve Jobs 1955-2011 and saved it. I want you all at Apple to have a copy to use for his memormial eash year. And Thank you Tim Cook and everyone at Apple for honoring Steve's values in keeping Apple products the great products that they are and will remain. Siri is such a riot. I have so much with her. I was able to use Best Buy's Trade-in Program and I traded my iPad 2 in for the new iPad 3rd Generation. I am one that needs Siri to help me spell some words when I get brain lock. lol. .  She is also fun to play with. I asked her to tell me a joke, she came back with, " Two iPhones walk in a bar, I forget the rest. LOL. you all have an ad with this joke. I haven't asked her any questions on sports yet. I like figure skating in the winter olympics beacause it's so graceful.
