I don't believe that's the case for video cameras, which usually use
firewire for video transfer.
I have a customer who bought a DV camcorder with a USB socket & it
transpired that this socket was only capable of transferring photos
from the camera (which had both a video and a static "photo" mode).
Video had to be transferred by firewire.
Although videos appear in the mass storage device of my mum's digicam
in "proper" video recorders firewire is MUCH more common. If I wanted
to record video I would expect to be buying a firewire-capable video
camera; although I might well take Iain Buchanan's advice of 13th
August 2007 00:00:23 BST to supplant my previous expectations, I
wouldn't expect USB is a "serious" camcorder.
Stroller.

i have a sony digital camera that takes movies, and it just shows
up as a usb drive. i would assume that the video recorders would
work the same way. maybe you can take a laptop to a store that
sells them and check to see if it works that way or find someone
that has one and borrow it. if you dont want sony recorders im
sure you can find another brand with the same interface.

Hello to all,
I'm in need of a portable video camera(or rig), such as the sony
SR82, but one that is gentoo friendly for video transfer.
Hopefully I can find a video camera that transfers directly to a
gentoo sytem via usb 2.0? After my experience with a Sony Viao
Laptop, I'm not really keen on anything else from sony (now that
I think about it).
