Help with purchasing a digital video camcorder? - digital minidv video camera camcorder entry level handycam

uh, I was glad to buy a digital video camera, but how do you know if it on your computer or can not be loaded? I looked into the camera at amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-ZR830-MiniDV-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B000M4OANM/ref=dp_return_2/002-4410858-4812012?ie=UTF8&n=502394&s=photo&qid=1189648910&sr=1-3

Mini DV, does not mean you can load onto your computer?
or anyone knows a quality video camera under $ 300, which can be downloaded into a computer / internet? That would help!
Thanks
