Review on πŸ“Ό Sony DVC60PRL Mini DV Tape 60min Premium Data Cartridge - Pack of 10 by Darrell Kiley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality at a good price

We only use Sony MiniDV tapes in our professional devices. We've tried others (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) but have had the most luck and fewer errors with Sony tapes. Others may be cheaper, but it's just not worth the risk of losing an important shot for a client because we're sacrificing the film. Also, as a warning, be careful when buying "premium" HD tapes from places like eBay. I think some of them must be fake as we bought some and they were awful (constant error messages on the camera saying it was a problem with the tapes). So we're back to those Sony tapes. They work better with HD recording than the more expensive ones we've bought. This supplier completed the order quickly and tape stock seems excellent.
