It's frustrating that I can't connect this to my iMac. We got a Sony laptop first but couldn't edit our discs on it. More than a year later we got an iMac (which we really like) - I wish the Sony camera was connected to the iMac via USB. imac does not support miniDVD. Any suggestions (other than always Canon)? Otherwise, the camera is ergonomic and works well when you're not editing on an iMac.
