Hi, new user here, just want to ask for some advice...

I'm looking for a cheap camcorder but I would like it to connect to the PC via USB connection.

I've spotted the following device and I'm just wondering if it will connect to my PC in this way, I don't want to spend money on something if it won't be any good to me.

Can anyone offer me any advice, please?

Steve.

If you are transfering videos from the 770 to the PC then firewire is a must. USB is for transfering jpgs from the SD card to the PC.

I've never seen a miniDV video camera that doesn't have a firewire output. I couldn't find much for specs on the one you posted, but I sure wouldn't purchase it.

I would get a miniDV tape video camera, that does have a firewire output, and I would get a firewire card for my computer, if it didn't have one.

I would also get a good firewire cable, along with the card and video camera.

The JVC GR-D770U has both DV and USB ports. I've got one of those and the JVC GR-D850. Good little camcoders.

Thanks, PFloyd. From the link given, there was very little information, and I confess, I didn't google it.

At any rate, firewire is the only way to go when capturing video from a minDV camcorder.

Thanks.

I have an SD Card slot on my PC, as well as xD card and CF/MD, whatever that is!

Would it be easy enough to just plug the SD Card into the computer instead?
