Yes – but your computer needs a firewire port.
The Panasonic PV-GS83 is a miniDV tape based camcorder.
The DV port on ALL miniDV tape based camcorder is a 4-pin firewire connector. The other side of the firewire cable can be 4-pin or 6-pin firewire400 or 9-pin firewire800. It depends on which firewire port your computer has. The most common are 4-pin and 6-pin firewire ports. Newer Apple MacBook Pros use the 9-pin Firewire800 port. If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one.
USB will not work. USB to firewire converter adapters will not work.
The camcorder should be off.
Connect the camcorder AC power supply to the camcorder and a known working AC power outlet.
Connect the firewire cable to the camcorder DV port and the computer’s firewire port.
Place the camcorder in “Play” or “VCR” mode.
Launch the video editor. Import the video.
