Necessary evil November 1, 2007 5 out of 11 found this review helpful
I suspect I'm not the only person who has gone through so much gadgetry requiring so many assorted connectors that it's frequently less time-consuming and irritating to simply purchase the required connector than sort through the boxes and drawers of accumulated stock. Enough is enough. I can remember when the large phone plug would suffice to connect just about anything, then it was the RCA plug, and now it's a galaxy of plugs and connectors--guaranteed to occupy a computer user-photographer-audiophile-videophile-and musician (those electric keyboards and little MIDI boxes!) for several lifetimes.
This cord (I must have 4-5 somewhere in the house by now) will nicely transport your photos from your digital camera to your computer via Firewire connectivity. But the "micro" 4-pin connector is perpetual impending disaster. It's convenient for the Canon Elphs and other small cameras that barely make a bulge in your shirt pocket, but its increasing use by manufacturers--for example, in 500 GB external storage drives used to store the precious records of a lifetime--is inexcusable. I've had them wilt on me, fall loose from their female harbor, fail to reach a coy (recessed) receptacle, and experienced close calls too numerous to mention. Aside from the briefest of uses--a quick transfer of files from a mini portable camera or MP3 player to your computer--the 1394 4-pin should be outlawed. Look for equipment that doesn't require it (remember when floppy disc drives came with the cable permanently attached?).
Cool Firewire! October 1, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a basic firewire (DV) cable which I bought to connect my Canon camcorder to the firewire card on my PC. It seems pretty durable - and works fine. This was the cheapest cable I could find - and it seems really good quality! I can't imagine wanting anything more from a cable (!)
Works Great September 25, 2007 The cable works great. It seems like it's a good quality cable. No complaints at all here.

do you really want to buy it ... It's a 4 to 6pin connector. I bought it by mistake for my handycam and later found out that i need a 4 to 4 pin connector.
Works As Expected! September 16, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was unsure about this wire working well with my Sony TVR-27 and Windows Vista until I connected the two. Once connected, I turned on the camcorder and Vista immediately recognized what it needed to do (launch Windows Movie Maker) and I was transferring video within a minute. I noticed no problems at all and it works very well. I highly recommend it!
