Has anybody ever heard of the brand " DVC " when it comes to camcorders and digital camers? Good brand? Is it compatible with a Mac?

Well, there is a company by that name <Since 1995, DVC has specialized in designing and manufacturing high-performance digital imaging solutions for scientific and industrial applications...>. But "DVC" seems to be a fairly generic abreviation for Digital Video Camcorder. It appears in many different brand camcorder 'names'. I'd suggest searching one of the good camera review sites...

If I was just out to buy a camcorder, that would be the smart thing to do. It is just with a coupon that I have this would only run me $49.95 plus I suppose shipping plus there is supposed to be $400.00 worh of software with it which I am afraid is PeeCee.

This may be what you are looking at:

Here are their cameras.  Some appear to be firewire, and what imaging software you use depends on what you have.

Looks like Jennie found the same place. They just don't look like 'consumer' products to me. I suspect they have to be connected to a PC ( Windows or Linix ) to even operate.

Where did the coupon come from? I hope not via email!
