You can transfer Video to your PC through a Firewire cable, although some Digital Video cameras offer USB or USB2 connections. USB is not ideal, since the transfer speed is very low. However, USB2 connections are comparable in speed to Firewire. If your PC doesn't have a Firewire port or USB2 port, you will need to install a PCI Firewire or USB2 card. These are widely available and relatively easy to install. Fire wire ports are also included in the Creative Audigy range of sound cards.

Absolutely. You simply need to have the appropriate FireWire extensions installed; the QuickTime FireWire driver is included with QuickTime 4.

The differences in DV cameras tend to be in the optics and quality of the CCDs used. A three ccd camera for (red green and blue) tends to be better than a one ccd camera.

We don't recommend bringing video cameras, or even expensive still cameras, on trips. Many people bring disposable waterproof cameras, which work just fine. The quality of the pictures is reasonably good, and if you lose your camera, it's not the end of the world. Many river trips have professional photographers riverside, whose photos you can view and order after the trip. See similar questions...

Your video camera or VCR. Since most people don't want to buy the DV VCR due to its outrageous price, you'll usually just use your camera for this.
