---My Camcorder Wont Upload Videos Onto My computer---?

A WORKER AT BEST BUY SAID THAT MY COMPUTER WILL NOT TAKE MY VIDEOS FROM MY CAMCORDER CUZ IT IS PROBABLY A OLDER COMPUTER, IT IS A DELL LABTOP, IVE HAD IT FOR A WHILE NOW. WELL HE SAID I NEED A FIREWIRE AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF AND THAT IT WILL COST ABOUT $600.00! NO WAY! TOO CONFUSING, SO ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS A NICE LABTOP WITH GOOD QUALITY THAT WILL TAKE MY VIDEOS, NOT OVER $1,000.00? IM LOOKING AT MY CAMCORDER AND IF THIS HELPS ANY, MY CAMCORDER SAYS ZR850 NTSC, ITS A MINI DV DIGITAL VIDEO CANON CAMCORDER. IT SAYS DC 7.4V ON THE BOTTOM


Answers:    Toshiba Stallite laptops ($400-800) come with what is call i_DV which is firewire connection.
You still entail video editing software. Magix Movie edit pro is a devout easy one. ($59). Don't forget to buy the fire chain connection ( but be sure it is i_DV compatible grounds there are two different types of firewire, the one that connects to regular desk tops computers and the one explicitly called i_dv that connects to laptops.
Mini-DV camera is ideal for movie importing and editing on any laptop or Desktop. Actually it is the techonology i.e. still used by proffesional who does digital movie editing.
Another great software is Sony Vegas ($89) but it is a little advanced.

(just to tolerate you know I do digital movie editing for 5 years now, and I am editing on lone E-machine that I bough 4 years ago.. so your laptop might be actually apposite enough, but you still inevitability the connection)
Good luck.
You do need a firewire nouns, not sure about how you procure one for a laptop. With a desktop you buy the firewire card and install it. I'm not sure if they make an external firewire card. You also stipulation a firewire (ieee1394) cord. Video will not download via a USB connection. Google firewire (ieee1394). I don't consider it should cost 600.00 that doesn't sound right.
