Yup. Only to a hard drive.

What you want is a [HDR-HC5](http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/%3Cwbr%3EINTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?ProductSKU=HDRHC5&Dept=cameras&CategoryName=dcc_DICamcorders_HighDefinitionVideo)

I have the HC3 which is the predecessor to that. I have been really happy with the camcorder although it would have been nice if it came with software. Feel free to give mine a try if it would help you make a decision.
