I was browsing camcorders on the internet and i came across a canon camcorder that have USB and IEEE1392 inputs and outputs. I know that IEEE 1394 is firewire. Could it be an older version of firewire?

Probably a mis print, but there are 4 and 6 pin firewires and the 6 pin is faster.
It's not a good idea for companies to use ultra new technology without letting you know that in advance.
DVD and Hard drive camcorder makers don't advise people what a pain they will have trying to upload and edit their vidoes in the formats these companies use.
This should be manditory or they should provide a convert that puts it in AVI format.
Right now the whole camcorder things outside of most Mini DV stinks with odd file formats, USB connectors but not FireWire.
Even FireWire doesn't always works and that stinks.
I'm wondering why they aren't putting the Digital TV connections on camcorders. That might work better and computer companies should make PCI card or put DMI and Firewire on all computers.

IEEE 1392 is somewhat similar to firewire. Read below. I found this on a website. http://www.pesoftware.com/Technews/news1101.html
"A single IEEE 1394 cable transmits all of the information including video, audio, time coed, and device control (allowing you to control the camera from the computer). IEEE 1392 is not used exclusively for video transfer; it is a general-purpose digital interface that also can be used for other connections, such as those to hard drives, scanners, and networks."

IEEE1392 refers to an industry standard communications interface commonly refered to as "Firewire."
