"I wanted to know what excatly Firewire is used for!?!?!"
I see applications to move DV to the computer, as an interface to hard disks, CDRW, DVD recorders and even an attempt at networking. There is no "exact" usage since it's an interface and not limited to one use.
"Like is it really necessary or whatever!??!?! And i want to buy a Canon Optura 300 oor should i wait for the New Elura to come out!?!?"
Given you have added such a question in with a camcorder, one would use it to move DV to the compure. If you don't need to, then its not needed.
As to waiting. My best advice is to always delay. Always...
