   Unfortunately these did not work in our camera (even though the model is listed on the tapes), but the tapes were in great condition, in original packaging and shipped super fast. We should have checked further but was in a hurry!

   I have been buying these tapes for years because of their higher reliability compared to cheaper mini DV cassettes, such as some JVCs that I tried before. I do a lot of HDV recording, but the price of Sony “HDV cassettes” is way too high to be efficient. My archive library consists of over 300 mini DV tapes because they hold so little footage, and I trust these Maxells to store my HD footage. They record for about 01:02:30, that being about 2.5 extra minutes you get out of them which I have used on occasion! They work well with my Sony HVR-M15AU mini DV/HDV deck and dropout rate is very low. I used these as a backup for a critical show production requiring pristine quality video where computers would otherwise fail. Because HDV is a digital format, the tape quality does NOT affect picture quality, but it DOES affect reliability (i.e dropouts and errors). If you need cheaper tape stock for HDV recording and playback, I highly recommend these as a cheaper alternative to the “HDV” labeled cassettes.Say NO! to the HDSLR revolution!!!

   I do think these tapes are overpriced but they are good quality and some of the cheaper ones in the market. The pack is more convenient and also they only hold 60min of footage at SP quality so you better get more than one.I hoping to transfer these tapes to my computer and reuse them. I know quality lowers when you do that but we’ll see.

   Since I have an obsolete but still working DV camcorder, I needed tapes. These Maxell’s work fine and the price was good.

   I found it increasingly difficult and next to impossible to find these DV tapes for the camera I use in any store.It is a great camera but it is an older model. The stores that did carry the tapes either did not have enough or they were priced extremely high.I was pleased to find the tapes online at a reasonable price and although I was worried they might not arrive in time, they arrived two days before the event I was preparing to video. I typically use four of them for each event of workshops for music teachers so buying in bulk was a great savings.

   I have used these with my camcorder since purchasing it several years ago and have always been impressed. They work reliably and there are no dropped frames on playback. I use these to record HD video (1080i from a Sony). Now that cost for hard drives are coming down (well, was coming down until the 2011 floods in Thailand and soon will again) – tape is not as desirable as it was as a storage medium but it is still quite convenient. I was happy to find these on Amazon as our local bricks and mortar store where I used to buy them no longer carries them.All in all, these are well made reliable media and I would highly recommend them.
