I've been a professional video/TV producer most of my life. I still shoot a lot of mini DV format for webcasting - You Tube etc. I've experimented with other brands, but I've found Sony to be the most dependable, with the least amount of dropouts and other issues, over a period of 10 or 15 years of regularly using the format.

So this recent purchase I made of 20 cassettes at a great price gets 5 stars from me. I'll be buying from this supplier again! To check out professional footage on Sony mini DV in my home studio, search "timothy james dean channel" on u tube. The quality is excellent!

A really great product which I've used before.I was happy to find out that this kind of media is still available you know for old fogeys like me.

Same tapes I have been using for a long time, still work great. Buying in a package like this is much cheaper than three at a time at Walmart or Radio Shack.

I should have bought a HD camera with a hard drive, but sense I bought a Canon HV30 I have to buy these. This is the best deal I could find. I buy a lot at a time because I know I will use them all eventually.

I went to Best Buy and couldn't believe they are asking $25 for a single 60 minute tape. I love Amazon.......

Sony put so many different labels on these blue covered tapes it's hard to know if you're dealing with the same item. I've been using a lot of these tapes and have had a lot of problems mostly in the VCR mode where the tape just hangs for a few seconds and starts again. I do my editing directly to a DVD recorder and this is very annoying because these stops are transferred to the final product. Sometines the camera stops working and tells me to reinsert the tape. This happens with no other tapes.

As the video guru at a small private college, I'm called upon to record and archive everything from guest lecturers to graduation ceremonies, and I like using one trusted brand of tape for all my cameras and to give crews when I contract for their services. By budgeting about $60 for tape on each project through Amazon, I always have fresh bricks of Sony DVC-60 cassettes on hand for large projects and everyday shoots.

Sony "DVC-60" are a great value for high quality mini-DV. We shoot a lot of video for both our business (instructional videos) and personal use.

We have fairly high end equipment (Canon GL2 MiniDV Digital Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom) and did not want to take a chance with switching brands (which can cause problems over time) or hunting the lowest prices. We selected Sony early on and have never been disappointed.

Recommended for quality and pricing!

I always get these same sony mini dv tapes for my camcorders and I've never been dissatisfied. I've used them on my sony vx2100's and on my canon xha1's and they're truly a great product.

The tapes work great. What's best is the ECO friendly packaging. Also, it's nice to see that MiniDV tapes are still available and being sold. I have not upgraded my camera so buying online at a good price is still my best option. I'll buy again for sure!
