Digital camera reviews of Sony High Definition Minidv Videocassette (2-Pack)
Digital camera 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.Digital camera Review: Hard to compare
Summary: 5 Stars
But so far these have worked great. Often get more than 60 minutes of record time on a Canon 20HDDigital camera Review: Great Combo for HD Cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
I use Canon XHA1 HD camcorder. This tape works like a charm.
The price is affordable and good companion for HD camcorder.
If you settle for non HD tapes, you are taking risk.
Digital camera Review: It's tape!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's tape! It works! We got it on Amazon because it was cheaper than in the store.Digital camera Review: MiniDV HD cassettes
Summary: 5 Stars
Pricier than their cousins, the Standard MiniDv Cassettes, the one's listed out here on Amazon are almost 50% cheaper than the same ones (exactly the same, brand, etc) that I've found at the local photography store. The box stores don't carry them with frequency...not enough HD cameras in the hands of the public yet...I'm sure availability will change soon though with more HiDef hardware being purchased.
You have to use them in the HD camera's or you'll void the warranty. You'll also gum up the heads of the more sensistive prouser cameras which means poor quality images and possibly ruining the heads themselves.
I just bought a new Canon XHA1 and it's worth the investment to use the HD cassettes.
In fact, I'm going to order more right now.
