My Panasonic PV-GS29 Mini DV does not have a place for a USB cord

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.
