Bottom Line:   
search information on this model.

Panasonic states that for a MAC you will need a card readed to read the card, to transfer the stills via USB from the reader to a MAC.

Movies are via fire wire. also learned that one is not able to record sound at time of shooting but that you can dub in later.
