2.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable, September 27, 2007

We've been using these tapes on both a Canon HV20 and XHA1 and they are having a tendency to drop out several seconds right after we start recording and occasional drop frames later. At first we thought it was one of the cameras, or a head cleaning issue, but this is happening on two cameras, and two different models at that. We've missed some vitally important footage because of this. Though we don't have the problem on every tape, it happens frequently enough that we will not be using them again.

I don't think you can get a better deal than this. No dropouts, no noise, competitive price. I'm using it in the Sony HDR-HC7, and the video quality is spectacular.

As a few of you may know this HDV tape is top of the line in quality video. Panasonic makes a really solid tape as well, although i experienced more drop-out with Pany tapes. The reason i gave it 3 stars is because sony came out with a new tape HDM63VG. The new tape is videography grade, and the quality is awesome! The biggest benefits of the new tape is the price. 1/2 the price of the red label HDV from Sony. You can only buy them online at authorized sony stores for now, but will probably hit mass market here shortly. If you want to buy a great quality tape and don't care out the price, The ones your looking at are as good as it gets.
