Trying to find a dig-cam below $600 that is MAC compatible

by scribblejam Feb 21, 2009 1:37AM PST

I recently bought a panasonic camcorder that i found out was NOT mac compatible. Since the package is open now, I will be charged a restocking fee to return it

As i've recently discovered this information is not exactly readily available when you are purchasing. You've really got to dig into forums and the depths of the internet to find out their compatibility.

Can anyone suggest a well rated digital camera that is MAC compatible and below $600.00?

Does such a camcorder exist?

hmm...I guess i'm looking for the kind of compatibility that I get when i plug in a digital camera and can readily access my photo files - no extra software necessary. Is this wishful thinking?
