3.0 out of 5 stars Good tape, buy 63 minute version instead, November 2, 2006

These are great tapes for filming in HD on Sony camcorders (I use an HDR-HC3).

However:
The 85 minute HD tape is more expensive per minute than the 63 minute version. So until the price gets lowered to below 14 dollars a tape, you're just paying more for less tape. The only exception is if you have to film something for longer than 63 minutes (but less than 85) straight without ever changing tapes.

Just remember, you get 6.3 minutes of tape per dollar with the 63 minute tapes (because they cost around 10 dollars a tape).

The tape works fine in my Canon HV20 camcorder. I'm using SP mode rather than LP.

After using these Sony 85 min for my Canon HV20 for HDV recording, I tried one for DV with the LP mode. It was great to be able to tape for over 2 hours. Yes the 63 minute version is cheaper, but when you need one tape for a 2 hour plus event, use these!
