Hey does anyone know if I can I hook up a Firewire cable to my HD Sony camera and rip it straight into Final Cut?

Shouldn't be a problem.

Should work, just make sure you have the capture presets to match what you are shooting (since I assume thats the format you want to capture it at) and make sure your disks are spinning up so there isnt a delay on the capture. Sometimes that can cause FCP to bog down and you get a pin wheel. There is a program to keep your disks spinning continually so you don't have to worry about that, though I forget the name of it... You can probably find it on the forums here, though I am going to try and look it up for you...
