While some camcorders do transfer video via USB, most if not all owners lament the lower quality video. Since it's a laptop without firewire, you can add firewire with a PC-Card.

My son is buying a new camcorder JVC GR-D290US which uses USB, firewire and ilink. He has a new laptop with USB 2 and 3 but no firewire. Does anyone know if he will be able to transfer video using his USB, or should he get firewire card, and will he be able to install himself (not too techie)? Thanks!
