Sony is fooling us again

The statement that this cable only works with a specific Sony model has turned out to be correct. That said, I ordered this cable because I need a mini DV connector for the standard USB configuration to transfer video from an old Sony HI8 camcorder to my PC. Not finding such a configuration, I decided to try this cable which looked right. However, the Mini DV connector was slightly higher than the standard connector. Apparently Sony is doing this on purpose. It's famous for non-standard items that don't go well with others. What's wrong with this company?

Pros
  • USB to Firewire IEEE 1394 male 4-pin iLink adapter cable Length: 100 cm
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
