I'm thinking of asking for that for Christmas, but I want to know if you can connect that to a laptop. If so, would the cable be included with that camera (or any camcorder for that matter) or would I need to buy my own?
Also I love using photoshop for image editing, but is there an Adobe product for video editing?
Answer
This camcorder only comes with composite video output so it will only connect to a TV unless you have a video capture card on your laptop which most don't.
To edit the video, you'll need to take the finalized disc from this camcorder to your laptop, rip the files to your hard disk, then use which ever software you are using for video editing.

Video Editing Process*
*CAPTURE video stream from vcam & Import files from pc folder, EDIT to make the movie as a project, FINISH (render) movie as a video file, and finally SAVE or burn to CD/DVD.
for starters, XP/Windows Movie Maker (wmm**) provides simple & easy way (& free) to learn the ropes- **click wmm help for details. For enhanced effects, buy SpiceFx by Pixelan.
After learning the editing tricks, you may later venture into other video editing programs - Premiere, Vegas, Studio (Pinnacle, Ulead), etc., accdg to skill level.
Steps:
CAPTURE VIDEO
a.) Connect vcam to pc via firewire cable (4 or 6 pin) for good transfer (USB can do but possible drop frames with effect on quality)
b.) Set vcam mode to playback desired video, then pause
c.) Open wmm and set to TASK PANE
d.) In the wmm/Task pane/CAPTURE VIDEO, click CAPTURE from video device. Wmm should now be able to control vcam operations. On play, video files are copied to wmm/Collection (usually several video files, although will not notice on vcam playback)
e.) Import also other desired files (video, pics, music, narration) from pc folder to wmm Collection
EDIT MOVIE
f.) wmm/EDIT: drag & drop captured video files one by one from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence
g.) Enhance/edit your video further if you wish: drag/drop other files (video, pics, music, narration, effects, transition); create subtitles, then, test to your liking (re-edit as you wish)
FINISH MOVIE (w/rendering)
h.) Save the video file to pc or burn to cd
i.) Save the project file (work-in-progress) for succeeding edits
