Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DVC-60 PRR/5 Premium Minidv Videocassette (5-Pack)
Customer Review: Great tapes for the price/
Summary: 5 Stars
I first used these tapes when a friend gave me one on a shoot for a school project.
In the past I had to deal with constant dropouts and TC errors with used college tapes but thats not the case with these.
I was planning on buying one and just reusing it but I then found these for such an outstanding price here at Amazon and so I decided to get the 5 pack and keep the original footage just in case I ever needed it.
I've been using these tapes now for at least 2 weeks and have yet to get any errors from the computer. I suggest anyone get these tapes weather they have a small consumer grade camera or are in the middle range with your standard MiniDV camera.
Customer Review: Good value and enough to satisfy consumer needs
Summary: 5 Stars
These tapes are great to buy, especially through Amazon as the cost is so much cheaper than at any of my local stores. The price usually fluctuates so just keep one in your cart at all times for info on price drops. I got mine for only 12 bucks, for 5 tapes!! It normally costs me that much to buy 3 at Sears so I can't complain. This is my primary source for MiniDV tapes. If you're worried about quality change over the period of time, well it's just going to depend on how well you storage them, just like with any other tape.Customer Review: Works well with HDV Camcorders
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony tapes work well with the new HDV camcorders that record in high definition. Previously, I was able to use the cheaper TDK, Fuji, Maxell tapes with my old Sony DV camcorder without problems but these tapes gave dropouts while shooting in high definition. On the other hand, using the higher quality Sony or Panasonic tapes work just fine for HDV. These tapes work and are 1/4 the price of the specialized HDV tapes that Sony offers. The only benefit to spending more for the Sony HDV tapes are longevity.Customer Review: I was lucky with this purchase.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these to use in my HiDef HDV Sony camcorder. This HDV standard is not very forgiving if the tape has dropouts. So far these tapes have worked better than expected. I haven't had any problems. I'm probably going to buy more.
If you're going to be working in a professional environment (i.e. paying lots of people lots of money) these tapes might not be for you. There's probably a reason that Sony also sells MiniDV tapes costing much more than these.
Customer Review: Let's be honest
Summary: 5 Stars
I mean really people, let's be honest, if you are shooting Standard Definition video, sony makes the best tapes you can buy. No, it doesn't matter if you have a JVC, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic camera, just use Sony tapes, and never, ever stop using them. The worst thing you can do to your camera is change up the tape brand every time. Don't do it. If you are looking for 5 good tapes, this is it. If you are looking for 6 or 4 you are going to have to look elsewhere.
