PLEASE HELP!!!

we recently purchased a dell (specs below).  and we have the SAME camcorder since 1990.. a curtis mathes that doubles as a VCR.  but our shoulders are about to BREAK hehe so we dont use it anymore.  and we are looking at some camcorders but we want to take advantage of USB 2 and get a camcorder that connects to USB 2, not USB 1.  does anyone know of any camcorders that are USB 2 linked??  WE DONT HAVE FIREWIRE... but isnt USB2 better?? 

  • dell 8200
  • pentium 4 2.8 ghz
  • 1 gb pc-800 ram
  • 120 gb HD
  • altec lansing THX ada995
  • samsung dvd-rom
  • philips dvd+r/rw
  • roxio videowave 5 POWER - bought separately
  • 21' trinitron monitor
  • geforce 4 ti420

and we got this computer at the tail end of the outrageous deals when this setup was VERY VERY cheap, for what all it has.. :)  even though they dont make the 8200 anymore :( 

BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW OF USB2 CAMCORDERS?? thanks

Refine,

All digital video cameras have firewire ports ... A good place to start is at the "Windows" site ...

like here ...

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/moviemaker/getstarted/selectcamera.asp

this particular page happens to discuss "selecting a camera" that is suitable for importing movies into your computer. There are links off this page that lead to a complete listing of firewire cards, cameras etc etc etc ...
