5.0 out of 5 stars A good Deal, June 13, 2003

This is a good Deal if you can get it with Free Shipping.

I shopped around elsewhere and typical cost is twenty bucks. I had purchased a good quality Sony tape 3pk for twenty bucks in Best buy.

This is an ME (Metal evaporated) tape. ME tapes are of good quality and were the kind reccomended by my camcorder manufacturer (Sharp). The tapes I got were Red colored packaged instead of Green as shown above. I was looking for the ME sign and i found it on the side of the tape.

TDK tapes are all made with dependability in mind. I bought my TDK MiniDV tapes a year ago and have been using two of them heavily (saved one for archive), and both work reliably in my Sony camcorder. I actually record in Sony's LP mode, which records 90 minutes on the 60-minute tapes, and the video and audio quality is excellent, even after repeated uses. I highly recommend TDK products.

This review is from: TDK MiniDV Tapes, 60 Minute (3-Pack) (Electronics)

What do you expect from a tape where digital information is recorded on? That it records the digital infromation! Yes, the TDK tape is capable of doing that exactly like so many other miniDV tape brands. Since anlog video, there are other measures to be taken under consideration. The digital video standard miniDV pretty much determines the amount of information being stored on the tape (also called the entropy), other aspects appear: drop-out-rate (the coating of the tape might not be consistent among thte total length of the cassette), lifespan, 'tape-eating-camcorder'.
Be cautious, since every DV tape must meet the DV standard (one of the system inherent features), you have to evaluate a tape by extended features than picture quality.
The bottom line is, again: the TDK tape is fully capable of dealing with digital miniDV video, my Canon MZ 50 camcorder did not eat one of the three! Let the price decide...
