It's also a standard in the video industry I think... The differences between the 4000 and the 5000 (I have used the 4000 for 2 years and still have the 5000) is 1) speed and 2) Interface reliability. The 4000 is much slower than the 5000, but the Firewire interface was much more reliable than the USB. All the best from the south of France!
