Answer 1

Look around on it for a slot, geeze.

Answer 2

What will having a memory card do?

If you have had the camcorder for years, it is likely a miniDV tape or Digital8 tape based camcorder. You need to use a firewire cable to connect the DV port on the camcorder to the firewire port on your computer. Install a firewire port if your computer does not have one. Transferring digital video from these camcorders will not happen using USB.

If the camcorder is older - analog - like VHS, VHS-C, Hi8 or something else, there may not be a slot for a memory card - which is why you can't find a place to put it in the camcorder.

To transfer video from an analog camcorder, you will need the AV cables that came with the camcorderand connect them to an analog/digital bridge like

then connect the A/D bridge to your computer using USB or firewire per the A/D bridge requirements.

But you have no need for a memory card... Sony's first flash memory camcorder (HDR-CX7) came out only early last year I think, so you could not have had it "for years"...
