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.

I have tried other brand names and this is the only one that keeps the quality over decades. I strongly recommend it.

I've used Sony Hi-8 tapes for years and although tape is now considered somewhat archaic, if you have a camcorder that uses Hi-8 or Digital, you can't go wrong with these. I've never had a problem with them when shooting in some rather extreme situations. The camera hasn't always performed like I want, but the tape itself has never been the source of a problem. Shop around for the best price.

I liked the quality and the service was very prompt. I got them delivered immediatly.

Had a real hard time finding 8mm cassettes for the camcorder until I went to Amazon. Came quick and in perfect condition. Grandson thinks the old camcorder is the greatest invention:)

Used these to record my basketball team's games. Then I go back and record all their stats while I watch the game, pausing and rewinding to get it right. I usually record 5 or 6 games on each tape, rewinding and recording over the previous game. These tapes have never failed and are always good quality.

Most of my friends have switched to digital recording while I still use my olde Sony camera. I just wanted to give dues to these tapes, they never fail!

Because it is getting harder and harder to find these tapes in my area, I ordered from Amazon. Received them in a timely manner and very pleased with my purchase.
