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 was looking at that one last night.

Is it possible to download straight from the HC5 to my computer? Would I need a special program?

It seems like I would like the UX7 better with the miniDVD format, but I assume the DVD’s are not as easy to edit with?
