SonyDVM63HDR/2 High Definition Minidv Videocassette - 2 Pack

Excellent quality. No issues. I'm an engineer who's into technology, not a picky video editor, and I am very pleased with these. I use them in my canon HD videocam. I have since bought a larger pack of cheaper miniDVs from my big-box store. Also, you will not notice anything different between miniDV and miniDV HD. They use a higher quality standard... which I opted for since I essentially went the miniDV route to have an "instant backup" of all video I shot (and transferred to PC).

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.

The Sony HD Minidv Video tape cassette yields outstanding results both in Color reproduction and sound. I have used the tape in my Canon HD Video Camera on several over seas trips, filming with a wide variety of back grounds and available light. I would not hesitate to recommend the product to anyone. Amazon's buying service was outstanding, excellent price and quick delivery.

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.

Since buying our  Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom  for last year's fall vacation, I've begun purchasing these Sony HD tapes. As for the quality of the tapes, I've experienced no fade-outs or dropped frames, even after recording maybe close to 20 hours on 20 different tapes. The product itself seems to be very high quality. Colors and resolution are *awesome*. When I did a side-by-side comparison of a kitchen scene using my old MiniDV and standard definition MiniDV tapes compared with the HD MiniDV alternative, I was *blown away* at how much better-looking the HD solution is. The colors are much more vibrant, and of course the resolution is spectacular. I know you can use regular MiniDV tapes if you want with this HD camera, but Canon suggests using HD-specific tape medium, and I figure that I'm recording memories that will last my lifetime, so why be chintzy?I really like that the coloring of the tapes is very distinct from all my regular, standard resolution MiniDV tapes that I've recorded over many years. These WHITE-colored tapes make it a cinch to distinguish between HD tapes and regular tapes. I can instantly spot where my in my library I began recording in high definition.The only reason this product isn't a 5-star product is because I think they're a little too expensive. If they were just a dollar or two more over the price of regular MiniDV tapes, then this would be a 5-star product.(BTW, the Canon camera I'm using isn't the latest version. If you're in the market for a new HD MiniDV camera, check-out Canon's current product,  Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom . I love my Canon camera and would highly recommend it!) Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized ZoomCanon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom
