Hi good people. I borrowed a Sony Camcorder of a friend and it stopped working whilst i had it. Do'h.

More specifically the firewire port stopped working. The camera works fine and the USB for the memory stick works fine, but the firewire port is dead. It has been trialled with different cables and pc's, so we are convinced the firewire connection on the camera is broken. i believe the cheapest fix would be a seperate minidv read/writer that the tape can be used in to connect to the pc.

Does such an item exist or i do i have to fork out the cash to get the camera fixed?

Cheers

It would probably be cheaper tohave it fixed than get a mini dv player. Mini DV players are prohibitively expensive.
