  CNET editors' camcorder buying guide:
What else should I buy? What you need to know, from the kind of user you are to current technologies. What else should I buy?If you buy a cassette-based camcorder, you'll probably be able to drop a tape in your camcorder and start recording as soon as you open the box and charge the battery. But before you can download the video to your computer for editing, you'll have to make sure your PC and software have the right connectivity. Many tape-based models and all tapeless models support downloading via USB 2.0, but you should verify that your operating system and hardware support it. Furthermore, though all models have a USB 2.0 port, some still restrict its use to downloading strictly from the memory card. You'll need to make sure your model really does use it for video. Otherwise, you'll need a FireWire connection. In that case, you'll definitely need to buy a FireWire cable (very few models bundle them), but you might also need to add an internal card to your PC.
