fire wire and digital video macbook pro

Basically I have 2 macbook pros. A 2008 and a 2010. The 2010 doesn't have a fire wire port which is a disappointment or have the type of ports changed? Also when I plug my digital video camera into my old macbook pro and press play then nohing happens and I can not find anything in Finder devices. How do I capture all my digital videos on my mac?
Thanks

Are you sure the 2010 is a MBP? Strange question I know, but my 2010 15" MBP certainly does have a FireWire 800 port -and according to the specs I just checked on the Apple site, all the current model 2010 MBP's have a FireWire 800 port also!

hi mate yea i am sure. the thing is me and my wife have checked and it doesn't have the one fire wire port. where is it that you checked and what shape is the port? is the firewire800 port different to the old ones that are on the older models? regardless of this how do I get my digital video on my mac old or new

If you have a MacBook Pro then it will definitely have a firewire port. It will be a firewire 800 port.
