This review is from: Sony Hi8 Camcorder 8mm Cassettes 120 Minute (4-Pack) (Electronics)

I have used other Hi8 tapes but from my expreience nothing beats the quality of a Sony. I am an active member of a muscial band and we perform about every week. I set my camera (Sony TRV340) on a tripod and let it record on all our venues. As a result I consume quite a number of tapes per month. Because of this I need a reliable, high-quality brand that I can trust; the Sony Hi8. Video quality is superior, even after several re-recordings (taping over footage). The same goes for the sound; crisp and clear (especially when you have an auxilary mic). I found the outer tape housing surprisingly strong. At one time I dropped a box of these tapes from a high shelf and on to a hard-tile floor - but they remained intact and safe. These tapes are pretty much versitle in any kind of filming situation, and for that I give Sony praise.

Highlights:
- Sharp, High quality video
- Crisp and clear sound reproduction
- Strong plastic tape housing
- Unbeatable value


I highly recommend this product for all your recording needs! Now if you excuse me, I think I have another gig to film.

These tapes shoot at pretty good quality and they can be used in both high8 as well as digital8 camcorders. You can't get a better camcorder tape from sony than this at this price.

I've been using the Sony Hi8 tapes since my daughter was born in 2003. I've never had a problem. Amazon has th ebest price consistently and they are getting hard to find at offline stores now.
