    If you're like me still using a few cameras requiring mini-dv, these cassettes are the way to go! I'm using heavily used canon gl2s, and other tapes just don't hold up! The film rips on rewind! This tape is tough! Holds up! Captures the best high definition footage on a tape... Only things I have experienced is the occasional drop frames during capture, but I can't quite connect that to a flaw on the tape as much as I can connect it to either the tape deck or computer.

    These tapes work perfect in my older camera I purchased. Needed camera for client tape conversions and wanted to be able to use the camera as well.

    I was recently asked if I owned a digital camera. " I did ,but it was a few years old",was my reply. I didn't realise, but the camera is almost 12 years old. My next thought was, whether I had any spare tapes just in case my friend still wanted the camera. Well, they did want the camera and I rushed to purchase tapes for it. Even though the technology might be older than the new digital cameras on sale today. The camera worked well and the tapes recorded in crystal clear HD, I was actually surprised the tapes were still on sale. Any way,I was very happy with my purchase and I will continue to use the camera and tapes in the future.

    We used these HD tapes for my daughter's volleyball tournament and the quality of the images was great! They are a little pricey, will probably be looking into purchasing a digital video camera soon, but for now, these worked great!

    I don't have an HD camera, but this was the only tape available so I had to use it. It worked well and the video came out nicely, but for me it was a waste of the extra money because my camera can't use it to the best of it's ability.

    Dusted off the old camcorder for my daughters elementary school concert. The tapes work as promised but I don't think our equipment had the ability detect higher image quality.

    I have been using the Sony HD video cassettes for about three years now. They are easy to load into the camera and are of a very high quality. I will only use Sony HD cassettes. It is so easy to download and then create the video I want.

    Mini DV cameras aren't being sold much anymore so I was glad they still carried them because I was in a bind for a wedding. Just wish there was an SD option to save some money or provide tape for those who don't have HD Mini DV cameras. This may have just been at the store I was at, I'm not sure if other locations offer them.
