Sony calls it iLink. I can't imagine that Canon would have abandoned FireWire either. I have the Sony HDR-HC3, but haven't done much of anything with HD. You might want to check out the iMovie and or MacDV email lists. (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/iMovie-List/) MacDV comes up in a Google search. This is the first post I've seen to this list in a very long time. It was intended for digital still cameras.
