How do I download to PC from Sony DCR-HC38 handycam?

by firey71 Jul 16, 2007 5:27PM PDT

I have just about made up my mind to buy the Sony 38 DVC handycam.
Don't need still photo as I have a Canon Digital SLR and a backup pocket digital camera, hence the 38 as opposed to the 48.
If anybody can suggest something better for around the same price it would be very much appreciated.
Also, I have been told by the shop that I can download to my PC using USB cable.
I had assumed I'd need firewire.
Could one of you far more knowledgeable people put me straight on this?

by using a firewire cable connected

to the DV port of the camcorder to the firewire port of the computer. If youor computer does not have a firewire port, install one. USB for stills; firewire for video.
