Cool Firewire!

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

The cable works great. It seems like it's a good quality cable. No complaints at all here.

exactly as advertised

As advertised and much cheaper in price than anyone else. Almost too good to be true. No regrets.

Necessary evil

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?).
