Brought the camera to the Apple store, then the camera store. The camera is compatible and I will be able to utilize Imovie, the Mac program I so wanted to use.
The lady at the camera store walked me through steps that will allow me to save my videos and create you tube videos.
I set the Imac up but will need a little help establishing the internet connection.
On a sidenote I videoed myself catching a swarm yesterday evening, so now I have two videos to share once I have everything up and running which should be very soon!
