Firewire? Does anyone know if this model has a firewire port?

HollyLime: Yes it does. On the upper right side of the camera, notice a plastic cover. Unsnap it and you will see three ports: AV MIC and DV. DV is your firwire port, aka ieee 1394.

You need to have a FireWire port in your PC. If, you have Mac, the port is already there.

No you can not connect firewire to any sort USB ports. Fire wire and Usb are two different dinosaurs. Fire wire sends a signal kinda like this [-------------------------------------------] [-------------------------------------------] where usb sends signals like this [---] [---] [---] [---] While there are some supposed USB to PCMCIA or even Express Card adapters on the market. You can not use a Firewire card in such adaptor, because the same signal issues. You have a USB BUS and also a PCI bus that interface with an Express Card slot or PCMCIA slot. Firewire HAS to interface with the PCI aspect of it. Due to the way the firewire sends its signal. It just will not work. Trust me on this one. For Laptops with such Express Card slots try an older Dell E latitude series. There is also a handful of laptops out there if you search hard enough for such slots, and or still have A T.I. Firewire chipset built in. They are getting harder to find, and they are much more $$$ than the average consumer laptop sadly. The fact is people who use firewire devices are far and few between. So Hopefully manufactures of Audio devices will adapt to the USB 3.0 or the future the USB 4.0 (not out yet) instead of firewire. for an attempt at lossy formats.

I'm sorry. I didn't see this question until just now. I am not sure. Is the firewire on the 2008 iMac the old type that was kind of a hexagon shape? If so, then no, this hard drive does not have that type of firewire port on it. If it is the newer type it won't work. But it should still work through USB, but just may be slower at the data transfer. Hope this is helpful.

yes there is a firewire port. and yes it is compatible. I owned a GL2 believe it to be about the same specs as GL1 but do more research before purchasing.

Don't know the answer to the first question but it is bootable, but I was only able to boot via USB, not FireWire.

I don't think so. But you might be able to get a different cord instead that has a multi-headed adaptor that will connect to a USB port.The best thing is to have a laptop with a Firewire port. Unfortunately, they usually don't make low-end Windows computers with a firewire port. Most affordable laptops with a firewire port are Macs. I have the same problem.

What firewire port do you have on your Mac Mini? If it is the new format then yes, if not then no.

I can't tell if there is more than one version, but this one specifically is a USB 3.0, which means it does not go into Firewire

I.Link is Sony's "firewire".... http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid183_gci749630,00.html

There is no firewire on the XA-20. It has analog and HDI out. The next model up, the XA-25 features a built-in SD/HD-SDI output with embedded audio and time code via a BNC connector.

Whatever the older port is (which I think is firewire - the newer is USB, right) well, I gave up trying to adapt it to my new laptop and don't use it for my youtube postings anymore.

Unfortunately, This camera doesn't have a firewire port. I've never used it for this purpose but I'm sure it could be done through usb. Have you checked the manual?

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

I'm not sure actually haven't been able to use it myself because of the FireWire and not having any ports for it and forget about the usb adapter doesn't work but it wouldn't hurt and hopefully you will be successful sorry for the inconvenience

Yes, use the usb3 port on the drive left of the firewire portshttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822154548

Probably not. FireWire is either 400 or 800 Kbps, and both thunderbolt and USB 3 are faster.
