Yes, you can capture video from tape to the hard drive via the computer. But you can't connect the camera directly to the hard drive. Or if you have a tapeless camera, you can store its files on the hard drive, via the computer. But if you can afford you probably want to get a bigger drive than 120GB - that sounds a lot, but with video (particularly HD) it will fill up quite quickly. I see on Amazon.com a Lacie 120GB drive is $90, and you can get a 1TB drive for $140. Not spending the extra $50 is a false economy.
