Before purchasing a camcorder (Sony DCR-HC62) I spent hours researching the web and various mac forums to make sure that I could use the camera with my macbook for viewing and editing.
All for naught!
I quickly discovered the sony software "does not operate on a Mac" -- (but I can copy still images from a memory stick). I don't need this -- I need to get video from the camera!.
For some reason I did purchase a firewire cable and I can connect to camera's DVI port for download (don't know why camera has a USB port).
Soooooo, I am stuck. don't know whether I should return the camera and instead get a Cannon.
