I'm not sure why it is not made "crystal clear" to users of any of these

camcorders in their manuals that the ONLY way full-resolution video

can be transferred in its original digital form is by way of FireWire.

Oh, BTW (lest the *other* question comes up...;-), the TV and

computer-displays are very different in characteristics, and the image

will not look the same on both, though the digital material is the

same...
