best camcorder for mac os x image
Britters04
I have been trying to connect my Canon zr85 to my Mac OS X to transfer video from the tape. Having installed the disk software and connecting the camera via firewire (after buying an updated firewire 800 cable) the computer still will not recognise the camera. I've followed everything in the manual - any advice would be helpful.
Thank you!
Answer
The Canon ZR85 is a MiniDV tape based camcorder that can record standard definition video to digital tape.
Connect a firewire cable (not USB) to the camcorder's DV port (not USB) and the computer's firewire port (not USB). Sounds like you did this - Great! Put the camcorder in VCR or Play mode. Launch iMovie and import or capture the video.

How do I download a video from my digital still camera to my Mac and send it in a email?

My camera is a canon Powershot A530. I have the USB cable to connect to my mac computer OS X, however my camera doesn't have firewire capability and from everybodys answers I understand that I need a firewire. I read about the adaptor but does the adaptor works if the camera doesn't have firewire capability ?
Answer
As far as I know. Not a lot of the cameras in the Market has got firewire.
Perhaps you don't even need one. As suggested, only DV Camcorders has firewire and this is the case because the file for the still video is very huge and firewire is more reliable in transferring such huge file with no errors.
For your case any video file that is 3GB and below you can transfer it using your USB cable.
Just Open your iPhoto, and then it would recognize your camera to do the importing of photos. Video would be imported in as well.
For simple editing purpose, iMovie could be used after the content of the camera is imported into the iPhoto.
