Can this camera be connected to a PC via USB or hot wire? What about hooking-up to an HD-TV?

yes and yes. Download the owners manual from Canon's website and see the sections that apply. They describe the procedure in detail. Both USB and HDMI cables are included with the camcorder. You can also connect to your PC via WIFI.

USB yes; I don't have a hotwire cable or computer to answer the other part of the question. You certainly can hook it up to an HDTV.

We download our movies to a mac using a mini-USB cable. There is an included mini-to-regular HDMI cable that lets you plug right into an HDMI capable TV. It works great.

It is a TV. I think you could connect any camera to it if you had the right cable (including coax, HDMI, USB)

It will take an HDMI input or a component input if you want HD. It also has composite input... Please note this model does not have hdmi output so you cannot loop thru hdmi on the camera.

You need a cable to connect the camera to your PC. The cable does not come with the camera, it has to be purchased separately. It has a standard USB connector on one end and a Mini-B connector on the other. Other cameras use the same type of cable, so if you have another digital camera, its cable might fit.

This is a RCA only camera, also it needs 12vDC to operate. If your HD TV has an RCA input, sure it works but you will not get high def image with this type of camera; NTSC only produre 420 lines at most.

Did your TV have RCA input? You can directly plug this camera to your TV via RCA

You can either connect the camcorder to a computer using IEEE wire, I think they used to call it fire wire, and is the wire with a smaller connection than USB. Or you can use the other cables with the red, white and yellow ends and connect to a dvd or vhs recorder. All the wires come with the camcorder. The same wires you would use to connect to a tv to watch your tapes on the tv. You can access the owners manual for instruction at I think the Sony Support web site.

The USB ports of the Panasonic are just for connecting media that can be viewed/heard on the TV, it is not a PC, it is a TV and doesn't support peripheral devices such as web cams

Hi Victor, Yes I am able to connect, view live and record videos from this camera on my computer but you will need a separate video adapter/cable and install software onto your PC. The camera doesn't come with those. If you buy the camera straight out, it comes with video cables that can be connected to a television or a computer with a video card that allows AV input. If you want specifics or technical details, you have to do some research.

Depends on your camera. But most digital cameras will connects I have used it with my Logitech webcam, a Panasonic DV camcorder and a JVC camcorder. All connected without problem using both USB and Firewire connections.

This camera does not have a firewire connection. It has a female S-Video out and a separate "AV" out female mini plug port. You need a special cord for the AV out, which has male mini-plug on one end and RCA male connectors on the other. One of the RCA connectors is yellow, which is the video out. There are conversion boxes available (I have one made by Sony) that take the RCA video out and convert it to a firewire signal.

It can be plugged directly into a TV/monitor with one of those yellow RCA composite video cables. I don't know about downloading video onto a PC as PCs generally don't take those composite video cables. I did find a cheap SD card based DVR that I'm going to try and hook it up to. BTW it's definitely not 500 megapixels, shoots quite grainy video but still a good deal for the price.

The camera can be hooked to a dvr card if one is installed on the computer. It can also be hooked up to a dvr security system.

A camera will almost always connect to a computer with a USB cable. Thats your best and cheapest bet. Otherwise you can buy a multi card reader and install that in your PC.

I attach it to my television by hdmi cable. The other output is an analog audio/video. I haven't tried hooking it up to my computer.

You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire. Most computers do not have this capability (plugin port). Our son had added it to our computer and provided me with the necessary program (Nero 8) to copy videos. No software for this video camera have to do it the long way. You can consult like Best Buy's GEEK Squad or someone with that knowledge, we just happen to have a computer guy in the family. Be very careful the PINS on the plug-in on the camera BEND VERY easy and then you cannot do anything!!
