Current cameras are like that, yes. Older (3 years-ish) cameras with DV tape are not that way. They record raw digital video frames on the tape. That tape must then be played back into the computer via the firewire connection.
Should Mark get a new camera? Maybe, but that does not solve the problem of getting the raw digital video off the tapes he already has.
