This camera was getting the Editorial Choice of PC Magasine few month ago.


You need of add a Firewire card in your computer in order the make Non
linear video Editing. Some card are inexpensive and some are very expensive
but considering the extra advantage, the expensive may be workwhile. Look at
the DV master from Fast. This card is very complete video editing board it
has 2 DV Firewire line plus S-Video in and out. It uses the Sony ChipSet.

You could also use the camera as an output device as the DV Firewire is full
duplex.


Hope this help
