GREAT VIDEO CAMERA. Comes with the FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable. Buy a FireWire card if you want to transfer VIDEO to the computer. A USB cable will handle the STILL photos. The FireWire cable came with the camera. The model (that worked absolutely flawlessly) was the I/O Flex FireWire & USB 2.0 card, Model IOFLEX-7002 ($80.00). My computer had, till that point, been just USB 1.0. Playback on computer, as produced with Windows Movie Maker, in *.wmv format is pretty nice. When you playback to your t.v. (using the camera as the VCR), it is OUTSTANDING quality. Also very cool is the camera's function as a converter of your old analog tapes (VHS, Hi-8) to digital (writes right to Mini-DV tapes.) (Haven’t tried that yet.) Well worth the money, for preserving memories. Burn those babies to CD, and you have a very good record. I have found that you can save over SIX hours of *.wmv files to one 700 meg (that's the standard size) writable CD.
