Okay, here's the quote I was referring to with the canon cameras: "Can't import or export to FireWire disks with Canon camcorders If you are using a Canon DV camcorder, you will not be able to import or export directly to a FireWire disk. Instead, import or export to your internal disk and copy to the FireWire disk later. " Does anyone know if this is still an issue with Canons as new as the ZR60? It just may be a problem if you have a slow or full internal drive. Dave.
