| will not buy from this store again. the tapes came individually, not packaged like it shows on the picture. I've bought this DV before and I can tell right away it came from a bulk and they were separated, and sold one by one. |
Great Quality Video

| Excellent quality. No issues. I'm an engineer who's into technology, not a picky video editor, and I am very pleased with these. I use them in my canon HD videocam. I have since bought a larger pack of cheaper miniDVs from my big-box store. Also, you will not notice anything different between miniDV and miniDV HD. They use a higher quality standard... which I opted for since I essentially went the miniDV route to have an "instant backup" of all video I shot (and transferred to PC). |
Excellent quality (no drop-outs or fades), but a little pricey

Since buying our Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom for last year's fall vacation, I've begun purchasing these Sony HD tapes. As for the quality of the tapes, I've experienced no fade-outs or dropped frames, even after recording maybe close to 20 hours on 20 different tapes. The product itself seems to be very high quality. Colors and resolution are *awesome*. When I did a side-by-side comparison of a kitchen scene using my old MiniDV and standard definition MiniDV tapes compared with the HD MiniDV alternative, I was *blown away* at how much better-looking the HD solution is. The colors are much more vibrant, and of course the resolution is spectacular. I know you can use regular MiniDV tapes if you want with this HD camera, but Canon suggests using HD-specific tape medium, and I figure that I'm recording memories that will last my lifetime, so why be chintzy?
I really like that the coloring of the tapes is very distinct from all my regular, standard resolution MiniDV tapes that I've recorded over many years. These WHITE-colored tapes make it a cinch to distinguish between HD tapes and regular tapes. I can instantly spot where my in my library I began recording in high definition.
The only reason this product isn't a 5-star product is because I think they're a little too expensive. If they were just a dollar or two more over the price of regular MiniDV tapes, then this would be a 5-star product.
(BTW, the Canon camera I'm using isn't the latest version. If you're in the market for a new HD MiniDV camera, check-out Canon's current product, Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom. I love my Canon camera and would highly recommend it!) |
What a Difference a Tape makes

| In all honesty, for the longest time I thoughts the reveiws about my Panasonic 3CCD camera was a bunch of bull because the I could not see the clarity everyone boasted about. At first I thought it was my analog tv, upgraded to A 32 Inch Vizio. I thought the screen strecth out the quality and created the pixel look. Low and behold it was the tape. It was like watching real live people through a sqaure peg. It was Amazing. It was so clear I almost felt like I was back in time. No doubt a the 3CCD camera and Sony HD were soulmates crying out for each other. It was worth it. Please don't doubt the power of high def. It looked better than some of the programs I watching that day. Hope it does the same for you. |

Sony MiniDV tape has always worked well in our SD camcorders (Canon and Panasonic) and now that we moved to HD (Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom), the Sony "DVC HD MiniDV" tapes are the only ones we plan to use.
The playback quality is just amazing and we have never noticed any errors in our recordings. This is very important to us since we film instructional videos for our family business and need to be sure that the video is perfect every time.
Highly Recommended! |
