Do you guys know of any sites with deals and rebates on digital cameras? Do most digital cameras come with good OS X support?

i found a $300. canon for $230 this way, and well worth it!

My Olympus Camera always worked great with OSX.

Please watch out for A&M, Digital Liquidation, etc. when using Froogle or the other comparison shopping sites. These sites tend to scam customers. Make sure to do a little research on the company before buying something off of a random web store. [url=http://photo.net[/url]Photo.net has a lot of info about swindlers and the like.

Any modern camera should work fine with OSX, all it does is allow the memory to mount like a disk. You could always get a media reader, which is a good idea anyhow, should this not work for some reason.

It all depends on what price range you are in, but personally I'd rather spend a little more to know that I can get it repaired, replaced, exchanged easier at some point down the road. YMMV.

What camera are you looking for?

and yes, most cameras tend to work very well with OS X - (drivers are usually already built in, and iPhoto integration is usually seamless).

When you know what camera in particular you are considering, you can double-check that it's os x compatible by visiting Apple's iphoto webpage: http://www.apple.com/iphoto/

actually the link was a bit burried. Here it is more directly: http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
