Camcorder Reviews

I give this item 1 star because it says it meets all IEEE-1394 specifications but the plug didn't fit into my JVC Camcorder. It might be that JVC wants me to buy their own firewire cable but I think this cable still should have worked.

Works great and is a deal at [price]. The only gripe I have is that it stinks! I could smell the plastic insulation before I even opened the box from Amazon. An unpleasant acrid combination of rubber and some kind of chemical. Repeated washing in hot soapy water (not the end connectors!) and hanging it out in the sunlight for a week has markedly reduced the smell but it's still noticeable. Hopefully time will make this cable's smell as sweet as it's price.

I found similar firewire cables to sell for anywhere [for a range of prices]. This one is the most reasonably priced I've come across. ...the cable works great! It does kind of smell, however. Kind of a processed plastic sort of smell...
