[MacDV] No firewire port in the new HDR HD camcorder HDR-SR1 from Sony!

[osxlists]

I agree with you.
But it seems that most (all?) HDR camcorders have only USB ports.
See all JVC and Panasonic and also Sony DCR-SR 90.

And also HD is important of you want to record more than one hour!
What kind of problem do you espect?

About the HDR-SR1:

Good article but the author don't says anything about the lack of  
firewire (probably a windows user!)
Only two readers are shocked by this…
