I formatted my USB flash drive with NTFS - I was a little disappointing it could not be written too from OSX. Back to FAT.
As USB flash drives get bigger this could be more of an issue as people do like to move their data between operating systems.
I bought this a few days ago, charged it up, took a minute of video, and plugged it in to the USB port. IMovie recognized and imported the video clips with warnings. The clips were comprised and unusable. I was worried I would have to take the camera back.
