Yes. A/V cable comes with it.

No, it only comes with a SD Memory card slot.
But you can connect it to your vcr due the RCA cables.

Yes, this camera does work with a Mac. I have previously owned this camera, and used it to make several projects in iMovie. It works great!

When you connect the camera to the mac via USB, it will show up a a disc drive, and you can simply drag and drop your footage to the desktop. Or, you can import it directly into iMove (if you use iMovie)

It works great with a Mac!

No. You will have to buy a different camcorder to take still images and video.

I would recommend that you buy a digital camera anyway. Although most camcorders are digital today, they sacficie a lot of the features that you get with a regular digital camera.

Use a digital camera for your stills, and a camcorder for your video. That's your best option.

No, this camera does not record in HD. This camera records in 720x480 resolution, which is the standard resolution for "regular" tv.

If you want to record in HD, you will need to look for a camera with a resolution of 1920x1080. Keep in mind that HD requires large amounts of storage space, and if you intend to do any editing, your computer needs to have robust hardware and editing software.

Standard definition is good enough for regular point and shoot filming, if you would like to film everyday normal life. HD does have it's advantages. You cannot find better clarity anywhere else, but you will also pay for it. I recently upgraded to an HD Camcorder and paid about $400 for it, not including my software upgrades that I had to purchase.

It's best to weigh your options about what you want to do specifically with your camcorder.

As long you have the movie on your pc you can burn it on a CD or DVD.
