*with a Firewire connection, the computer and the camera communicate, and the computer can download all of the video automatically and with perfect digital clarity. Since the content is digital from start to finish, there is no loss of quality as you work on successive generations. Choosing the smaller Mac will still let you use video; cameras and computers can connect without Firewire, but controlling the camera from the (editor) computer is not quite as easy. All FITSI sessions will support non-Firewire laptops.
