Firewire is a highspeed data transfer cable, and USB2 is a little bit faster than Firewire.
Ah no. But a good guess.

I have some ports on the back of my computer which are that shap. Also a number of USB (rectangle) ports front and back.
This is a video camera. What susan s has sounds like a din connector for attaching s video to s video. It would connect to a good quality video card on the computer or to a DVD player. No, the 's' doesn't stand for susan. *L*
Without the camera instruction book or knowing what susan s has on her compooter, it's hard to say how she would use this camera to transfer still images to disk. Even engineers read the book occasionally (usually after everything else fails).
