 Reasonable quality, despite occ. dropouts August 10, 2007

The forums say stay with one brand and quality of tape, for the health of the camcorder heads. So I continue to buy these, here and elsewhere when I see a tempting sale price. I do not find these tapes great, as something clearly lacking in the quality - I have seen better. Yet these Panasonic DVC tapes provide reasonably good color for the price. I question their stability as when I reuse them on the second go round, I do notice dropouts and catches and drags. I have high def camera and monitor, so maybe I notice more than someone else. Price on Amazon, good when on sale - yet watch expiry date, source (yes low quality versions or fakes exist), and avoid buying from extreme temperature locations (tape sensitivity). Would not recommend using these for once in a lifetime memories (go better) such as world cruise, graduation, birthing, rare orchids, diva performances, etc. For daily and unimportant shooting of the swimming hole, job, traffic, your house and yard, new car, etc., these do fine.

Great Price so I snatched it up. Mini DV's can be expensive so to get 10 for 25.00 was well worth it. I have used these tapes before and got good picture quality so I have no complaints at all.
Best DV tape for Panasonic DV camcorders January 15, 2007

It's best to use the same manufacturer's tape that made your camcorder. It gaurantees that the tape will have the proper surface for the tape heads. This tape has worked fine in my GS29 camcorder and the price was very reasonable.
Excellent deal on mini-DV tape May 15, 2007

For the price I paid ($25 for 10 tapes), this is definitely one of the best priced high-quality mini-DV tape on the market. I have used 3 tapes so far and everything seems to be fine (picture quality looks the same as others - I have a Sony HDR-HC3). I think the premium tapes are not worth it if you are going to import video on to a computer HDD. There may be a few drop bits here and there (according to manufacturer's claim anyway), but I don't think (most) people will notice them in the edited video.

The price was great, the shipping was instantanous,
the only draw back was the shipping charges.
