Dear all,

I bought a SONY camcorder DCR-HC23 with USB streaming (and Firewire). The
USB is specifically for capturing video, there is no memory stick to be
accessed with USB in this camera. I wonder how much hassle it would be to
connect the camera via USB.

I have no idea about USB. Since you say the camcorder has Firewire I'd suggest using that instead. If you don't have Firewire ports, add-in cards are ~$20 and should "just work" with the ohci1394 module (for the card) and video1394 (for the camera).

You will also need to load (or build your kernel with support for) raw1394
