Title: Great - But Mac Users Need Add'l Firewire Cable
Review: I've only had my pc1000 for a week and it seems to be a great camera. The camera form factor, user controls, and picture/audio quality are all better than I expected.The one area where it missed the mark was that Sony doesn't adequately emphasize that Mac users need an additional 4-pin to 6-pin IEEE (Firewire/i.Link) cable. This is not included and runs around $25.From the product specs, I misunderstood that a Mac with USB 2.0 would work with the supplied USB cable. USB will ONLY transfer Memory Stick data - not MiniDV data, which is where you'll record most of your video. The only place I found this documented was in the "Troubleshooting" section of the manual. In other words, Sony considers their poor OS support to be a user problem.... Feh.Once you get a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable, however, iMovie effortlessly imports your video. Don't bother with the included Sony software.Otherwise, the pc1000 rocks.
Is the review positive or negative?
