From the online specs it appears the this camera connects via Firewire, which is a different connection than USB. If you do not have a Firewire connection you can buy an add-in card for your computer usually for less than $20 online or probably more at a Best Buy.

Our model numbers in South africa are nv-gs47 etc. I know that all the new models like the pv-gs29 you dont have to use the firewire port on the camera, it is better to use the usb port because it is usb 2 you can do video streaming. The usb port is also more reliable than the dv port.So just check in the manual if this unit can use the usb port instead. i am more than sure it can.
