Does Nikon or Canon cameras have any issues with Macintosh computers?

Comment by migmig on May 21, 2009 at 6:04pm: oh...It might take a little while for your camcorder to be detected.

Comment by migmig on May 21, 2009 at 6:01pm: Go to File >> Log & Transfer (command+Shift+8), FCP will automatically detect your camcorder and show thumbnail of your clips. Then you can select which clip to be imported.

Comment by migmig on May 20, 2009 at 11:23pm: same as my case, I bought Sony HDR-SR11 and later find out that their AVCHD file (.MTS) is not (yet) fully compatible with MAC. I spent days figuring this problem, almost giving up. Luckily I found out that FCP 6 (late version 6.2.x, can't really remember) support this .MTS file. May be you need to updte version of your FCP.

for Nikon, no problem. I've been using D3 with MBP for a year.
for Canon, I have no direct experience but heard no complain though.

Comment by tony on May 19, 2009 at 10:56pm: ok, cool, simple! I am asking as i just brought a new Sony HDR-SR7 camcorder only to find that it is not 'Mac friendly' at all! Been reading on the net about this issue and many people are not very happy with Sony about this problem. My old Sony Mini DV (using via firewire), never any problems. Using with i move 6. I was also told even Final Cut Pro 6 does not work with this camcorder. Do u know anything about this?
