Digital camera reviews of Sony DVC Cleaning Tape
Digital camera Review: Great transaction
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this item before the estimated arrival date. I haven't used it yet since it's a cleaning cassette and the camcorder I bought along with it is brand new. It will be some time before I use it and be able to give a proper rating. But I loved the transaction.Digital camera Review: Great! Better than the Panasonic
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Panasonic one at a local store. When you open it, the instructions say don't use this to clean your heads unless your picture quality is already suffering. Yikes!
The Sony product can be used before your images start suffering.
Digital camera Review: Head cleaner cassette works
Summary: 5 Stars
Although tape may seem to be dead or dying with the advent of flash and hard drive memory cameras and systems. The use of DV tape is still alive and well and still used in the professional industry. This Sony head cleaner cassette is an asset. And is best with Sony camcorders, DV player/recorders and other camcorders. We use this cleaner when tapes have been sitting for some time and could cause head clogs from the oxide flaking off. So Keep one on hand to be prepared. Sony makes a great product.Digital camera Review: I wish I knew this before buying a new camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
A month ago my Canon camcorder had these blocky lines going across the view finder. I use my camcorder ALOT and had this ZR500 for over two years. I thought it was malfunctioning due to my high usage and it's age. So I brought a new one but when I stuck one of my old tapes in the new one those same old lines would show up again. NOW WAIT A MINUTE! THIS IS A NEW CAMCORDER! Since the camcorder was new I was eligible for free tech support. When I called Canon they told me that the type I used was contaminated from the old one and I needed a MiniDV cassette cleaner. They had one to sell me for over $35. No thank! So I did some research on amazon.com and saw the great reviews on this Sony cassette for half the price.
I just used it last week on both camcorders and now they both record and play back fine. Here's the all tapes that were used in the dirty camcorder prior to cleaning need to be thrown away. I noticed that when I tried to transfer the date from the miniDV to my computer the thick lines were back. So after trail and error I regrettably had to throw all the contaminated MiniDVs away. Once I cleaned the old camcorder again with this Sony cassette I used new MiniDV tapes afterwards and never tried to reply any old ones. I am happy to say that it's working good as new. Now I have two camcorders when I could have just cleaned the first one. But I learned a valuable lesson and hope others will learn from my mistake.
This tape is TOP NOTCH!
Digital camera Review: It Worked!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was getting worried when my videos of Yellowstone I recorded were coming out with blue streaks everywhere and some were completely blue. I read it probably needed to be cleaned and bought this. 15 seconds and this completely fixed the problem, there was no hassle.
If you are experiencing problems seeing recorded videos in your Mini DV camera you should give this a try.
