Daniel, You must have over looked the fact that he said he did not have the camera in his hands and that it was at home and he was writing from work. I also wrote that I remembered early Sharp DV cameras did not have FW ports. I remember seeing one and said so on an earlier post today. His wife was telling him what she found (over the phone I think). He did not have it in his hands at all. Her telling him there was a USB port I though might be a clue it wasn't DV. Do you know of old DV cameras with USB ports on them. That I do not remember ever seeing. I was guessing based on her clue over the phone not a fact. Are you deliberately misremembering what I and others write just so you can start a new flame against me? k On Wednesday, June 4, 2003, at 11:30 PM, Daniel Beck wrote: > Wrong again.
