HMC150 Mac support, finally

Panasonic has finally acknowledged that people who own the HMC150 also might own a Mac. So now you can finally update the camera's firmware. Here's the link for instructions on how to do that.

I'll send this via email as well, but I think pretty much any version of a Mac Pro, even some of the older models if you find one on ebay or elsewhere, will be fine for editing footage with the HMC150. I'm using one of the first generation Mac Pro quad 3.0 and it works great. I transcode from the card in to FInal Cut in about 50% realtime, meaning a 10 minute clip takes about 5 minutes or less to transcode.
