Sony DVC-60 PR/5 Premium Minidv Videocassette (5-Pack) Reviews
If you are looking to buy a Sony Mini-DV, these are the tapes for you. Since both tapes are Sony, I thjink the switch would be ok. While I am not typically a brand-sensitive person, I have read some reviews that state that you should stick with the same brands when it comes to magentic media such as tape. As a Sony Mini-DV owner, I chose to purchase the Sony branded tapes. Overall these tapes are pretty much standard qulaity tapes, like another reviwer mentioned. In addition, you probably should not switch from one brand to another after significant use because of the lubricants that the differnet manufacturers use. That said, I am interested in trying Sony's HD Mini-DV tapes, even though my camer is not an HD model. They are reliable.
and its reliability last longer than the rest. I've tried JVC,Maxwell,Panasonic and no tapes gets close to Sony, no drop frames etc.
in store price is $4-5. These DVC's have always given me great picture quality. Avg. For a little over $2 a tape you can't beat the price. Great price and product.
While we had NO problem with these with our SONY camcorder, we now have a Panasonic, WARNING. Then off to be cleaned. 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. Hope this info helps, sure wish I had known this sooner. Stick with 1 type of tape & you will not encounter this difficulty.
Gotta love when GOOD things can be had on the CHEAP. Its more like peeling paint off a wall that unwrapping something. 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. I've used enough MiniDV tapes over the last few years to learn the ins and outs of the format. The only annoying thing is that the outer plastic wrap that holds the 5-pack together is practically impossible to get off. I seem to have the fewest problems with the Sony brand MiniDV media. I have many different brands of cameras, from mid to higher end Panasonics, a good Sony, and a cheap Canon.
