My fairly recent Panasonic PV-GS19 inexpensive camcorder [tape] has both.

Hi

A guy at work has recently bought a digital camcorder and was asking me about firewire connections (I know the general consensus is that its the best way to connect).

His camera connects via the USB lead to a socket on the camera which is what seems to be the standard USB connection. We have 3 digital cameras and 3 MP3 players (different brands) and all use this same small plug to connect to the USB.

My camera (Canon) is a few years old and uses the dv connection found on the end of the standard firewire cable, is this not used anymore, is the USB type small plug now the standard on new digital camcorders?

thanks

Gary
