Firewire to usb adapter for iMac

I have a 2013 iMac running OS 10.10.5 and need a good firewire to usb adapter so I can download videos from my Canon ZR850 Camcorder - are there adapters that work well with an iMac that I can buy? I called Canon and they said I need a firewire card or adapter - what are my options?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Okay, so I got the Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter from Apple that you suggested and it came in the mail and it doesn't fit. I have a FireWire 800 and the Apple FireWire Adapter is for a FireWire 400 - do you know if there is a Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 Adapter out there? Thank you!


You should have indicated you have FW 800, as you have found out it is different than FW 400. You need something like thisadapter.
