The firewire port is smaller then a USB port. You should just need a standard firewire cable that can be bought at almost any computer store.
n d firewire connector on d device is a smaller one..........thing is.....the port on my laptop is also exactly the same as that on device...get it??
both ends r small........
Nah.. Check the manual for your camcorder and see what cable you are supposed to use. By the sound of things either the camera uses its own custom interface to make you spend more money on a cable or its not actually a firewire port on your laptop.
Most likely the first option though...

Its a UK retailer so it might not help, but it proves they exist. The cheapest one I have seen is about 3 quid...
