Sony Camcorders Cords
Digital camcorders for mac?
alright well i got a sony digital DVD mini camcorder for christmas yesterday, and it does not work for mac… it says it on the box (thanks santa) now i returned it and got a panasonic mini DVD digital camcorder, on the box it says for mac and PC, but didnt actually say only the the cords work for mac. SO TO GET TO MY POINT CAN SOME ONE GIVE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO A GOOD (DOESNT HAVE TO BE MINI DVD) DIGITAL CAMCORDER THAT WILL WORK WITH A MAC OSX 10.4.11 AND IMOVIE 06′… PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Um… You did not tell us which Mac… and you did not tell us your camcorder budget.
Almost ALL Macs made in the last 10 years have a firewire port. If your Mac has a firewire port, then any MiniDV tape based camcorder will work great. The new MacBooks and MacBook Air do not have a firewire port and no way to add one. All other Macs made in the last ten years have a firewire port.
Entry level: Canon ZR900, ZR930 (consumer grade)
Low: Canon HV30, Sony HDR-HC9 (consumer grade)
Med: Canon XHA1, Sony HDR-FX1000 (prosumer grade)
High: Canon XL series, Sony HVR series (professional grade)
The firewire cable is not included in the box. They are cheap.
ALL Macs made in the last 10 years have a USB port. This means Flash memory and hard disc drive camcorders can connect. The video from these camcorders may need to be converted using StreamClip

Low: Canon HF10, HF11, HF100, Sony HDR-CX11, HDR-CX12 (consumer grade)
Med: There are none.
High: Panasonic HVX200 (uses P2 cards – professional grade)
A USB cable is typically included in the box.
DVD based camcorders barely make useful doorstops.
I use iMovieHD ’06 on my iMac G5 flatpanel and have been editing 1080i high definition (and standard definition) video for several years from my Sony HDR-HC1 and HDR-FX1.
