Right out of the box, it worked very well with iMovie09 and my Mac had no problems recognizing the camera - No driver or software installation was required. There were none of the common interlacing or formatting issues, it just worked. Uploaded my first video to YouTube and everything was jiving beautifully. I got it $300 off. (I wouldn't have paid $700 for this camera though, when I could get a MUCH better camera for that same price.)

Good HD Camcorder for the Price
I just got this a few days ago and like to share my initial experience with it. I saw this camera in a sony store in my area and liked the looks and some features specially it's lightness and great video quality in low-light area that I decided to get one. The camcorder did not disappoint on those items. The videos were very sharp specially in HDHQ and higher options. The menu is a bit confusing and a little hard to navigate through. I still get lost around it finding features I need to change. I have big hands that it started to get strained after an hour of handling it. But this should be no problem with the average person with not so long fingers. Battery life is fantastic! Memory is a bit small but external memory is available - but a lil expensive. I am also a MAC user and I knew the PMB software that came with it is not compatible. But I did not expect the camera to be not very MAC friendly when it comes to downloading data. I also saw very little support for it - disappointed on that one. I'm sure there are better (expensive) camcorders out there (ie Canon or Sony) that will peform better. But this one is just good for the money I paid for.

exceptional
I purchased this camera to record my sons wedding in St.Louis Mo in April.. I also bought the light attatchment for evening use... I was so pleased with the results of this camera. I felt as if I were watching TV. I couldnt believe how clear and bright the movie was. The clearity was unbelieveable. I would reccomend this to anyone it was so easy to use.l
