No so great for MAC Users

(David C. - 2/16/07)

The picture quality of this camcorder is absolutely phenomenal and I'm sad to see it go back to the store. I do not like the "monopoly-esque" position Sony has taken. Currently, Sony is offering no support for MAC users. This camera simply does not work on a MAC. This is clearly a conscious effort by Sony to grab market share for their Sony Vegas editing software, as they try to rival Final Cut Pro. Business is business, but Sony, in the long run, will be shooting themselves in the foot. Most photo and video editors are MAC users. They have isolated the very market they should be catering to. No matter how cutting edge or great Sony products may be, they have lost at least one formerly loyal customer.
