The MacBook does not have a Express Card slot. The only thing I have is firewire and usb slots. Any way to make the P2 cards work????

You can use the camera itself as a card reader through firewire, as long as the MacBook has the latest Panny drivers. Someone will post instructions, I'm sure.
Okay, basically you connect the camera, power it up, and switch it into "viewing" mode (MCR, I think). Then you hold down the same button and the screen will go blue. If it finds your MacBook, it'll say "1394 Device Connect" after a few seconds. Then you should be golden.

Or you could get a P2 store, it can function as a P2 card reader.
I have a page put together if you need Mac HVX drivers (http://panasonic.sixbullets.net/#drivers).

That won't work!
