Review on 💿 Sony DVM63HDR/2 HD MiniDV Videocassette - Pack of 2 by Nick Grays

After purchasing our Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV HD camcorder with 10x optical stabilized zoom during the last autumn break I started buying these Sony HD Tapes. As for the quality of the tapes, I didn't notice any fading or dropped frames even after about 20 hours of recording on 20 different tapes. The item itself makes a very good impression. The colors and resolution are *amazing*. When I compared a kitchen scene side by side with my old standard definition MiniDV and MiniDV tapes versus the HD MiniDV alternative, I was *amazed* at how much better the HD solution looked. The colors are much brighter and the resolution is of course impressive. I know you can use regular MiniDV cassettes with this HD camera, but Canon suggests using dedicated HD tape media and I guess I'm recording memories that will last a lifetime, so why be stingy? i really like it The coloring of the tapes is very different from all my standard definition MiniDV tapes I've shot over the years. These WHITE tapes make it easy to distinguish HD tapes from regular tapes. I can immediately tell where in my library I started recording in high definition. The only reason this product is not a 5 star product is that I think it is overpriced. If they cost just a dollar or two more than regular MiniDV tapes, this would be a 5 star product. (By the way, the Canon camera I'm using isn't the latest version. If you're looking for a new HD MiniDV camera on the market, check out Canon's latest product, the Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV 10x optical zoom camcorder I love my Canon camera and highly recommend it!
