So are Sony and Macintosh compatible?

I got a sony video camera and I tried hooking it up with my Macbook and it wont pick it up. I've searched around on the web but most places say they aren't compatible. Just thought I'd get a straight answer before I take it back.

Well the thing is I have the new Macbook without the firewire port... most things I read say that the cam need a firewire cable...
