Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: NO VIDEOS FOR 1.5 GHZ PC G4 MACS Comment: I bought the FS200 flash memory camcorder, because it was not expensive plus making all kinds of promises( I did not need a video maker at the moment but I had enough money to make a purchase). I have other Canon cameras and they have worked very well so I ddid not think I would have any problems with the FAS200. Well I did learn something "don't judge a book by its coverup." I have three MAC computers and one PC (I got this because I wanted a Golf program that ran only on PCs) So the FS200 took fine photo's- good enough for my purposes. When I tried it on videos, it went through the procedures of capturing the image and worked well on the playback on the camcorder. When I went on to make videos I got a dialog box that said that I could not use iMovie because quickTime could not parse the images. I called the customer service line and a techy worked with me for 1 hour 1/2 and said that i could do this on a PC. I called another Canon Number and the agent was rather smug and said that I had a 1.5 GHZ power PC G4 OSX 10.4.11 and had to upgrade to make it work. If I had this information when I was ordering the FS200 I would not have bought it. So much for Canon's customer service program it works only after you pay up. Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME Comment: I LOVE IT!! IT'S EASY TO OPERATE,HOLD,& USE. I DOWNLOAD PICS & VIDEOS ON MY COMPUTER THEN PLAY AROUND TIL I GET THE VIDEO OR SLIDESHOW I WANT. I NEEDED TO GET A BACK-UP BATTERY BECAUSE I VIDEO EVERYTHING. MY KIDS & I ARGUE OVER WHO IS GOING TO USE IT NEXT! Customer Rating: Summary: Useless Comment: This camera is Useless. I'm not sure where to begin with the six month odyssey I have been through with this THING. First of all it not even mine. I bought it for my son for Christmas. Seems to work great, as far as shooting and all goes. Problem is can't get the video off it on to any of our computers. My son has my old G4. What the heck, doesn't work on that. Its a bit disappointing, but I get it. Its an old computer. So I figure we can download his videos onto my computer, another mac but with dual core intel Processor, 2.66 and 4GB of ram... Not So. cause I had Tiger OS 10.4- according to Canon Tech Support - My computer wouldn't recognize the camera. Live and learn. A few months pass, My son's used the camera for stills which download just fine. But it is a Video Camera. It'd be nice if he could use it as such. So I called tech support again just to make sure I understood just what we had to do. They said all I had to do was update iMovie HD to iMovie 08 OR 09- That of course meant updating my OS to at least Leopard. Snow Leopard was on sale, so I got that. Not that I needed a new OS but if it could get the kids camera up and runnin, why not. A new OS is always fun. 129 bucks later, we are finally ready to check out what this baby can do. Nothing. It does nothing. I have been back and forth with Canon Tech support for days, and hours, done everything they have suggested. Initialize this, Download that, Copy this here, download there. Disconnect everything from your computer. Re boot. I know I might sound like I am whining. But I have several other camera's, from still (nikon D200) to video (Sony HD) ,even a flip camera or two. None of these camera's have any problem communicating with this or any other computer in this house, regardless of their OS. After doing everything that tech support asked over the course of a week, I asked them to either replace the camera or give me a refund cause obviously nothing we were doing was going to work. And here is my real complaint. It's at this point that I felt I was sold a lemon by a shifty used car salesman. They refused to accept that there might be something wrong with their product and we went through a painful rebuke of all my equipment and software, which I had to refute step by step and piece by piece. Gig by Gig. One tech guy even suggested I get a PC. I have everything required to for this thing to work- It just ain't workin'. This camera is a dud- wether they are all like this or it just this one- I don't know. This camera is not recognized By iMovie 09 and painfully slow to download even just to the desk top. Whatever this camera is, if you can't get the videos on to your computer, its useless. Customer Rating: Summary: it a pretty good camera Comment: this is cool i'll admit i'm keeping this so yeah buy this 1 it looks good on youtube =] Customer Rating: Summary: Great camera Comment: This is a great camera for someone on a budget. It is compact, lightweight, and just wonderful. It is not an HD camera, but for standard quality, it does a pretty good job! Just a tip - for mac users, use imovie to import. More Reviews
