Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony High Definition Minidv Videocassette (2-Pack)
Customer Review: overpriced for "consumers" but great quality
Summary: 3 Stars
As a few of you may know this HDV tape is top of the line in quality video. Panasonic makes a really solid tape as well, although i experienced more drop-out with Pany tapes. The reason i gave it 3 stars is because sony came out with a new tape HDM63VG. The new tape is videography grade, and the quality is awesome! The biggest benefits of the new tape is the price. 1/2 the price of the red label HDV from Sony. You can only buy them online at authorized sony stores for now, but will probably hit mass market here shortly. If you want to buy a great quality tape and don't care out the price, The ones your looking at are as good as it gets.Customer Review: not open yet

I have not open this package yet, so it is hard to give any star.Customer Review: Unreliable
Summary: 2 Stars
We've been using these tapes on both a Canon HV20 and XHA1 and they are having a tendency to drop out several seconds right after we start recording and occasional drop frames later. At first we thought it was one of the cameras, or a head cleaning issue, but this is happening on two cameras, and two different models at that. We've missed some vitally important footage because of this. Though we don't have the problem on every tape, it happens frequently enough that we will not be using them again.Customer Review: Better prices can be found on these!

This is (I guess) better quality tape than the standard...BUT you can get it MUCH cheaper (same SONY product exactly) for a LOT LESS from other venders. I got several packs of five for about $7.00 per tape! Check the net and save on these! Forget getting them at Circuit City or Best Buy, if you can even find them....even MORE expensive! Time will tell...and editing if this product is worth the extra bucks.Customer Review: Tapes brand new, but not packaged as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
The tapes came very quickly, but rather then getting a 2-Pack as advertised, I got an envelope with two single tapes, not packaged for resale. If I knew I was buying tapes from a bulk reseller, I would've expected the price to be much lower.
I have not tried the tapes yet, so cannot vouch for their quality. I'm sure they'll be fine.
