Let's be honest
Rating: 5 (2008-12-04)
I mean really people, let's be honest, if you are shooting Standard Definition video, sony makes the best tapes you can buy. No, it doesn't matter if you have a JVC, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic camera, just use Sony tapes, and never, ever stop using them. The worst thing you can do to your camera is change up the tape brand every time. Don't do it. If you are looking for 5 good tapes, this is it. If you are looking for 6 or 4 you are going to have to look elsewhere.
Warning
Rating: 5 (2008-11-28)
Sony makes a good product, but the warning is... if you start with Sony, stay with sony, its not a good idea to mix sony and panasonic tapes. They have different materials on their tapes and the residue can mess up your heads (only if you switch back and forth)
Great Product, Great Price

The title of this review says it all, really, but I guess I'll be a little more clear. These are great quality tapes for a great price and I plan to buy them again from Amazon in the future. I couldn't be more satisfied.
They Work Fine
Rating: 5 (2008-11-12)
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.
Sony tapes last longer

I've tried JVC,Maxwell,Panasonic and no tapes gets close to Sony, no drop frames etc. and its reliability last longer than the rest.
