Compare price Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Contrary to added reviews that say this camera works with a Mac and the iMovie "automatically" imports the video from the camera in fact neither the Canon HF100 camera nor the SDHC agenda from it are accustomed by iMovie '09 active on my adequately contempo 2008 MacBook with latest operating system(even admitting they ARE accustomed by the computer). So in my experience you CANNOT just bung the camera in and accept iMovie apprehend or even catechumen the files from the Canon HF100 camera. I was told on the buzz by Apple that iMovie will NOT admit nor catechumen the .MTS files adored by the Canon HF100 so I acquisition it ambiguous that Apple says iMovie "supports" the Canon HF100 and actual harder to accept if some Mac users says it works able-bodied with a Mac. Most humans autograph reviews about appliance the Canon HF100 able-bodied on the Mac assume to be either are appliance Fincal Cut (FCE 4.0 which is $199) or accept it installed (so the all-important codecs can aswell be acclimated by iMovie I suspect). I accept you can get addition appliance to transcode the files to be apprehend by iMovie but iMovie '09 will NOT automatically do the about-face after some appropriate codec (prehaps from Final Cut) installed on the computer. Either that or the annoyed Mac users accept begin some way to save in a altered book architecture than .MTS from the camera which I haven't been able to do. I would VERY abundant like to apperceive absolutely how anybody got iMovie '09 to "automtically" catechumen files from the .MTS architecture after Final Cut as it absolutley will not on my Mac and Apple says iMovie doesn't abutment the .MTS files...Compare price Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
