Digital camera reviews of Sony DVC-60 PR/5 Premium Minidv Videocassette (5-Pack)
Digital camera Review: Sony tapes last longer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried JVC,Maxwell,Panasonic and no tapes gets close to Sony, no drop frames etc. and its reliability last longer than the rest.Digital camera Review: Great Product and price
Summary: 5 Stars
These DVC's have always given me great picture quality. For a little over $2 a tape you can't beat the price. Avg. in store price is $4-5. Great price and product.Digital camera Review: WARNING!! READ this, Sony DVC Video cassette tapes
Summary: 4 Stars
While we had NO problem with these with our SONY camcorder, we now have a Panasonic, WARNING! Warning! Do NOT mix the types of tapes you use in your camcorder, as different manufacturers use different lubricants & switching different tapes in the camcorder "gunks" everything up!! Then off to be cleaned! Stick with 1 type of tape & you will not encounter this difficulty! Hope this info helps, sure wish I had known this sooner!
Digital camera Review: These are my favorite brand of tapes, and now they're cheap, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gotta love when GOOD things can be had on the CHEAP!
I've used enough MiniDV tapes over the last few years to learn the ins and outs of the format. I have many different brands of cameras, from mid to higher end Panasonics, a good Sony, and a cheap Canon. I seem to have the fewest problems with the Sony brand MiniDV media. I had a lot of problems with dirty heads on my Panasonics (would need cleaning), but I noticed that when I switched to Sony media I seemed to have much less trouble.
I've ordered a few of these packs from Amazon and they arrive just fine and I've had no trouble with them in any of my cameras. The only annoying thing is that the outer plastic wrap that holds the 5-pack together is practically impossible to get off. Its more like peeling paint off a wall that unwrapping something...
Digital camera 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.
