Title: Requires Firewire for to transfer from MiniDV
Review: I was excited to get this camera and I shot some footage. But I found out (too late) that the *only* way to get the video recorded to the MiniDV cassete is through firewire. That great. I don't have a MAC on hand and none of my laptops (bought in the last year) have firewire. So no joy.When I researched this camera, no where, and I mean no where, was it mentioned that the video from the MiniDV could only be transferred via Firewire. I might not have bought it if I had known that. Now I have to return it and fight to not pay a restocking fee.Btw, the manual shows that you can use a USB cable, but it doesn't even say that video from the MiniDV cassette can not be transferred over USB.Oh, and no video editing software? For $1000, Canon couldn't put something on the DVD. Sure, I can use Microsoft Movie Maker, but I can't say that I like it.
Is this product review negative?
