Summary: Reliable tapes have worked as advertised

Comment: These Sony tapes have worked flawlessly for us. My wife burns through tapes pretty quickly on her Canon HV10 camcorder. To date, image quality has been as-expected with no problems recording or transferring data to the PC.

I am sure there are cheaper options, but it's simply not worth the risk.

Summary: Tapes brand new, but not packaged as advertised

Comment: The tapes came very quickly, but rather then getting a 2-Pack as advertised, I got an envelope with two single tapes, not packaged for resale. If I knew I was buying tapes from a bulk reseller, I would've expected the price to be much lower.

I have not tried the tapes yet, so cannot vouch for their quality. I'm sure they'll be fine.

Summary: overpriced for "consumers" but great quality

Comment: As a few of you may know this HDV tape is top of the line in quality video. Panasonic makes a really solid tape as well, although i experienced more drop-out with Pany tapes. The reason i gave it 3 stars is because sony came out with a new tape HDM63VG. The new tape is videography grade, and the quality is awesome! The biggest benefits of the new tape is the price. 1/2 the price of the red label HDV from Sony. You can only buy them online at authorized sony stores for now, but will probably hit mass market here shortly. If you want to buy a great quality tape and don't care out the price, The ones your looking at are as good as it gets.

Summary: I'd recommend it.

Comment: great HIGH DEF. quality. No drop outs at all. just consistent smooth digital video and audio output.

Summary: High Quality Tape....Worth The Price

Comment: I've now used about 10 such tapes on my Sony HD camcorder and never had any issues. The tape works well and the recording quality is great. It is expensive but well-worth it in terms of the quality and error free recording. I wish Amazon would sell a 5 or 10 pack at discounted price of ~$8 per tape.
