      Gotta love when GOOD things can be had on the CHEAP!

      I've used enough MiniDV tapes over the last few years to learn the ins and outs of the format. I have many different brands of cameras, from mid to higher end Panasonics, a good Sony, and a cheap Canon. I seem to have the fewest problems with the Sony brand MiniDV media. 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. The only annoying thing is that the outer plastic wrap that holds the 5-pack together is practically impossible to get off. Its more like peeling paint off a wall that unwrapping something...

      5.0 out of 5 stars They Work Fine
      Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2008

      As a Sony Mini-DV owner, I chose to purchase the Sony branded tapes. 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. 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. Since both tapes are Sony, I thjink the switch would be ok.

      Overall these tapes are pretty much standard qulaity tapes, like another reviwer mentioned. They are reliable. If you are looking to buy a Sony Mini-DV, these are the tapes for you.

      so here's the scoop... if you're OCD and you want ALL of your tapes to look exactly the same, don't buy this. the packaging may look like the other packages you have purchased... but it comes in orange packaging with lackluster graphics printed on the wrapper. the tapes themselves are slightly different, still with the red strip at top and red printing on the side, they've just altered it a bit. and the paper sleeve is more flimsy and comes up slightly on the front side now, as opposed to flush with the bottom.

      i mean... yeah they're sony dv tapes, they get the job done. but as far as aesthetics, i just figured i would let any crazified systematic perfectionists know that its not the same batch as is currently pictured (blue package)

      just buy them.

      What can I say? These Sony tapes are workhorses that do the job for which they were intended. I've been using them for years; first for DV and now for HDV with my Canon HV30. Are they perfect? No. But they are definitely more than good enough for most consumer/prosumer and even some professional video projects. For the price they can't be beat.

      If you are shooting HDV, don't think you need to spend the extra money for an HDV marketed tape. These work just fine and will save you a bundle.

      3.0 out of 5 stars Exposed to heat
      Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2007
      Verified Purchase
      I got the order quickly, but the first tape I used was defective. It had a loud squeak (it sounded like a very old rocking chair, squeak ... squeak ...) that scared me since I was using it on a brand new camcorder and at first thought the camcorder was defective. I tried another tape and it works fine.

      Amazon quickly sent me a new pack of tapes. Returning the defective tape was easy since they provided the postage and an address label. I just had to take the box to the post office.

      I only rated the tapes with 3 stars, because in addition to the defective tape, the new pack of tapes they sent was difficult to open as the clear plastic wrap was lightly melted on. It was not due to the glue or shrink wrapping (unless an error occurred during the heat shrink wrap process.) I believe the tapes were exposed to high heat either in the UPS truck or back in the warehouse.

      I hope that the heat has not affected my new tapes. I did not give less stars because amazon corrected the problem so fast, and it is a lower price than even Walmart. However, next time I will probably buy the tapes at Walmart or Target to make sure the tapes don't spend time in a hot truck.

      They are Mini DV tapes. Since DV is digital video there is not much that can go wrong with quality of 1's and 0's being encoded on the tape.

      Afterall they are a temporary medium before transferring to your PC and on to a DVD right? The mechanism of the tapes work fine.

      The main difference I see in many of the DV tapes I buy is the color of the plastic housing and the design of the stickers for the spine. Other than that I see virtually no difference in any brand I buy. I have made ofer 200 hours of DV tape recordings in the past year.

      Mini DVD recorders are taking over now, so pricing of DV tapes should drop fast and soon to like $1 or less per tape. Time to sell that Mini DV recorder eh?

      Some people seemed shocked that they are not getting what is shown in the picture. The picture shows the tape in Yellow wrapping and the title is DVC-60 PRR. When they arrive they are in a Blue wrapper with the part number DVM60PRR. It is the same tape except Amazon got the description and picture wrong. Their is no DVC-60 PRR.
      DVC is what is printed on the front of the tape DVC standing for Digital Video Cassette. The part number however is DVM60PRR. The PRR means it is a Sony Premium tape. Amazon should correct the title calling it a DVM60PRR as their is nothing from Sony with the part number DVC-60 PRR. You did not get ripped off!

      I recently acquired a pro-sumer 3CCD Panasonic video camera. It uses mini DV tape cassettes which are a bit "old school" but the camera has a reputation for shooting broadcast quality movies. Tapes and camera hard drives are not as convenient as SD cards but uploading tapes from the camera to my computer is simple using a Firewire/1394 cable.

      My order for 5 cassette tapes arrived in good shape and well packed and well within the projected delivery time.
