Tried iPhoto first time yesterday, and it imported all JPG files from my Canon A70 without a fuss.
But the A70 also allows me to record short video clips too (in AVI format), which iPhoto did not touch at all, and I can't even see it in the iPhoto thumbnail-browser.
Tried iMovie but i think it expects the device to be connected via the firewire port because the screen said 'no camera attached'.
I am new to Macs, so did not know how to browse the camera in a 'file mode' (on Win 2000, i would just open explorer and browse to the attached camera that shows up as another drive), so finally had to import the avi to my Thinkpad and copy to the iMac using my usb thumb-drive; once done, Quicktime plays it nicely and even am able to drop it into iMovie and see it play.
I hope i am only missing some minor stuff for the import...
