Check the manual for your camera. You usually don't absolutely need any third-party capture devices (from Black Magic) or anyone just to transfer the video from your camera to any computer. That camera records video to memory cards - so you should just be able to take the card out and plug it in to your computer using any inexpensive card reader.
However..if you do want to capture uncompressed video output direct from your camera (bypassing it's internal compression) - then a capture card might be needed. But... as you say you are new to this... I doubt that is something you will need to do.
