Q. I will be starting college soon and am looking for a video camera to bring with me. I am a Mac user and would DEFINITELY like to avoid DVD camcorders. I would like to spend between $200-300 and get the best quality I can for that price. I am open to buying refurbished camcorders (since they're much cheaper but equal in quality)
Originally I planned to get the Sony Handycam DCR-SX40. Unfortunately they are not Mac compatible. It had a direct USB connection for computers, good lighting quality, an awesome zoom, and was affordable. I do not want a grainy picture if I were to upload it to youtube or facebook.
Other cameras I like but do not seem to be Mac compatible are the Panasonic SDR-S26, the JVC Everio jvc gz mg630, and perhaps the Samsung SMX-C10GN (or F34.... I'm not entirely sure). The
Samsung didn't seem to have as good of a picture though.
Finally, I hear most Sony and Canon cameras are compatible... so I'm not sure why the Sony Handycam isn't. Still, all help is appreciated!!!!!!!!
Also thinking Samsung SC-MX20 now

A. Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to try and help.
All current model JVC camcorders are 100% compatible with all recent Mac computers. In the case of the GZ-MG630, it works excellent with iMovie '08 or iMovie '09. Simply connect via USB, and import your video.
The GZ-MG630 is a great choice if you want a standard definition camcorder with a built-in hard drive. Keep in mind that you can get identical picture quality and save a little money with one of our flash memory models. One example is the GZ-MS230. It has 8GB of flash memory, which is enough for 1 hour and 50 minutes of video in the highest quality setting. It also has an SD card slot so you can add more memory.
If you do need more storage, the GZ-MG630 is a great choice as it has an 80GB Hard Drive which is enough for almost 19 hours of video at the highest quality setting. With either camcorder, you will be very happy with the picture, and you'll like the way it works with your Mac.
I hope this helps.
Chris

Best Camcorder for a Mac user.?
Q. I'm trying to find a good camcorder that will work with my mac. I will be editing the videos in AfterEffects. I need something HD under $800. But I'd like to be able to just plug it in and have the file ready to edit. Thanks so much.
What if i need the video to be in a format usable with After Effects? I'm not planning on using iMovie or any of that.

A. The Mac OS has built-in support for the vast majority of consumer-level camcorders.
