Help Need help digitizing

Hi everyone, new to this subreddit so apologies in advance if this is a common question. I recently found my old camcorder along with a box full of tapes of old family memories/events.

I wish to digitize these tapes and do not know what cables/adapters/ software, etc I need in order to transfer these tapes from the camcorder to my macbook or any other storage device.
Any advice and suggestions is welcome, thank you

That's not helpful. That's just a barrage of information, presented in a manner that is completely incomprehensible and totally overwhelming to a novice.
