Sony DCR HS30 mini dv

I have the above set up would like to know if the camera is compatible with Final Cut Express? I'm planning on recording music with my guitar with the Sony and Pro Tools LE and upload to You Tube. According to the tech specs on the software it will take the capture (mini dv) but does anyone know for sure?

From everything I've read, as long as you have the firewire cable, you should be ok. If you only have the USB cable, you need to go get a firewire cable.

I assume you had meant DCR HC30, as I couldn't find a Sony HS30 anywhere...

If it is the HC30, according to the specs, you should have a firewire port although I don't know if it came with a firewire cable or not.
