What Kind OF USB Cable To Get For My ZR950 Canon DV Camcorder?
I purchased this ZR950 Canon Camcorder and I’m having difficulty finding the USB cable so I can upload the videos onto my computer. Does anyone know which is the right USB cable for my camcorder? Please help!

Minidv camcorders do not use a USB cord. They use a firewire connection.
If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….
Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don’t come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode.
The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
