it appears that you can connect the USB port on the camera to your PC for tranfer.

Either Firewire, usb or worse case, analog capture (RCA)

I use studio 9 (probably outdated now) but it works well with me. Also, I use the firewire. The USB never works for me.

firewire is the way to go

Using firewire here (GeekSquad). My understanding is USB doesn't transfer the full quality of the image (plus its VERY slow by comparison).

Looks like the verdict is in! Get a fireware card/cable and call it a day. Newegg.com ships super fast and have good prices.

You can get firewire cards for as little as for $10.00. Ebay is your friend. Get a cable there too, don't buy them at the store unless you like getting anally raped.
