The connector on the Mac is (almost) always the 6 pin connector. The connector on cameras is 4 pin. 6 pin carries the same signals as the 4 pin with the addition of power.

FireWire 800 has a different connector with 9 pins.

Firewire cables can have any one of the three connectors on either end.

*looks into the end of a firewire plug* yep i guess there are six pins in there. Wasn't completely sure lol, at least i got the shape right. :D
