I’ve had a terrible day today. Bough a video camera that doesn’t have a USB plug on it. Going to take it back tomorrow and get a fixed one. This one was truly terrible!

Most video cameras dont have a USB port. They have a 1394 (firewire port) instead. 100mb/sec as oppose to 400mb/sec speeds respectivley HTH

According to Sony website it has a DV iLink output. Thats what connects to the firewire port. The card i linked to comes with the cable and software to connect yer cam to pc with editing software.

Sorry to go off topic guys

Well I’m going to swap it tomorrow if I can. What you recommend I swap it for around that price?

About going off topic - at least its helping someone rather than the usual sexual undertones that draw things off topic on here

To be honest its not a bad video camera for the money. Without seeing the image quality when you use the optical zoom its hard to compare to any other camera. Dont bother with the digital zoom cos its a waste of time. Its got Zeis optics and a long life battery so realy the only choice would be to pony up sum more cash n jump to HD
