yes, you can.
looking at the Canon Vixia HV30, it has mini-USB; is that for photos only ?
I don't think so.
Firewire isn't completely dead, my one year old mobo supports through USB3.0.

by all means, yes, get a new camcorder if you're able or use today's phone-corder, they have higher
resolution than your old Betsy, too!
by the way, welcome to the forum.
