Review on Sony DVC HD 63 Minute Videocassette - 3 Pack (No Longer Manufactured) by David Lesperance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only way!

I HATE when people tell me that "HD tapes don't exist". First, you don't understand how chemicals and metals react. You probably don't even understand magnets! I've been making videos for over 20 years and I know how different cassettes work. When I use a standard definition Panasonic Mini DV tape in my Sony FX-1000, frames, jumps or glitches are ALWAYS dropped somewhere. The performance and video quality of Sony HDV tapes is superior to all others. I got my HDV camera at the same time that hard disk cameras were coming out. That was back when a 1-hour hard drive cost about $800. I'm still lucky to have a Sony HDV camera because it's easier for me to find or order these tapes when I'm traveling around the world and don't have an iMac to download. Also, losing the 1 hour tape is better than losing my ENTIRE project on my hard drive. I love her! If only they didn't cost so much.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
