Sony TRV-280 Camcorder - USB 1.0 or 2.0 streaming?
to make it know its an old USB 1.0 specification but I guess I'll remain optimistic until I know for sure. So if anyone call me which USB specification this camera supports I would be grateful. If it only supports 1.0 Im going to have buy a firewire cable it seems to record DVD-quality video to hard drive. Thanks for any comments. Whether or not it supports USB2, use Firewire for video transfer.

Thanks for any comments. 1394/Fireware anyway, regardless of whether the camera is USB 1.0 or 2.0. An OHCI-compliant 1394 card is less than $20.

Audigy soundcard. All I need is the firewire cable. BestBuy sells the cheapest one for $27.99. I'll probably breakdown and buy one.

SCREW THAT!
I can get one at a local "tractor supply and surplus" store in their electronics section for $10(no kidding) Especially if the cable is what I think you need - a 4 pin mini (camcorder) to 6 pin standard (SB Audigy - had one myself) Wow. Forget BestBuy... WorstBuy more like it. That's ridiculous. No wonder you didn't want to spring for a cable! LOL! C.

USB only to transfer still images from the installed memory card. But some Canons (e.g. Optura 60) claim that they'll stream video over USB2 as well. In that case, you should be able to capture video via USB2 if you lack a Firewire port.

with proprietary software that lets you do the transfer. If USB2 fails, it's likely a whole lot easier to use Firewire with Windows Movie Maker 2 than to try to "fix" the USB2 option. Be realistic - Firewire was originally *designed* for one purpose: transferring video. USB2 was not. A newbie who doesn't know the difference should be explained this very clearly. USB2 may or may not work and is decidedly a non-standard method of transferring video between cameras and computers. If it works, they got lucky. What's so difficult to accept about this? C.

And since you say all you have to do is add a IEEE cable, why not do a a comparison?
