These cables are very durable and sturdy. The only thing I don't like is connectors themselves are black plastic. I prefer metal because in low light situations, you can't see which side is up or down, and with FireWire, you need to know. All in all, good rugged cable that will last

I use the cord to connect my older cameras to my new MAC. The new MAC doesn't have the old usb ports. Did have to change the settings to get it to work but am happy with the end product.

I needed a cable to transfer video clips from my Canon camcorder to my MacBook Pro, and this one did the trick just fine. Now if I could only figure out how to work iMovie! No other complaints from me.

I would give it 5 stars if I knew it worked! I have a Dell XPS M1330 and its not uncommon for the firewire port to malfunction. This is a quality cable and probably works. I look forward to confirming that!
