I'm thinking about buying a new macbook pro but it doesn't have a firewire input and my camera (Sony HC9) uses that for output. Can I log and capture to FCP 7.0.3 through a firewire adapter or through the HDMI input on the computer. thanks.

I did a test drive at the Apple store and it worked. I went from camera>firewire400 cable>firewire800 adapter>thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter. Camera was recognized and was able to import footage (at least into FCP X). Will see how it works when I get new macbook pro and install FCS3 on it.
This is one reason I got the new MBP that still has the firewire port. Lucky it was also the same model that came with the matte screen ... both are essential components!
ymmv.
