Current cameras are like that, yes.  Older (3 years-ish) cameras with DV
tape are not that way.  They record raw digital video frames on the tape.
 That tape must then be played back into the computer via the firewire
connection.

Should Mark get a new camera?  Maybe, but that does not solve the problem of
getting the raw digital video off the tapes he already has.




Technically ALL cameras still and video record in the RAW format. The
difference is in how they finalize the image on whatever medium.
Tiff/Jpg are most common compressed formats. So firewire is the issue
not what the camera captures the image as....
