Answer
with consumer camcorders, you take the lens that comes with the camera. professional video cameras that offer replaceable lenses do not take still pictures, that is a marketing "feature" of consumer grade cameras only. Pro gear uses large format ccd's, often 2/3 inch size, so a 16x lens is a pretty hefty piece of glass. Consumer 1/6 inch ccds can be fitted with a cheap 40x short focal length lens as no big deal. The most common manufacterers of pro-mount video lenses are Fujinon and Canon.

Answer
If you want the best available quality, you need to transfer the digital information from the camcorder digitally. The last time I checked, "capture cards" typically use the AV cable connected to the camcorder. When this capture method is used, the yellow lead carrying the video out of the camcorder to the capture card is analog.
You did not tell us which Sony digital camcorder you are using.
If it is miniDV or Digital8 the video import from the camcorder to the computer should be done digitally using firewire/IEEE1394a/DV/i.link (all the same thing).
If it is a hard drive or flash memory digital camcorder, the video data file transfer will be over a USB cable.
If it is a DVD based camcorder, it really does not matter how you transfer the video - You would either rip the video from the DVD using something like HandBrake (presuming your computer has a drawer-loading DVD optical drive) or you would need an analog/digital bridge from Pinnacle (USB) or Canopus (firewire) if your computer's optical drive is a slot loader or reads CDs only. Either way, the video quality will not be very good.
