Actually it might be hard to find a FireWire cable of lower quality than 
the one that comes with the iSight.  In several instances that cable was 
implicated with users losing data from their external FireWire hard drive 
when it was connected at the same time as an iSight, when Panther first 
came out.

Here is a 10-foot ultra premium 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable for only 
$10:
