Customer Reviews

Definitely higher quality images than regular Sony MiniDV
I tested these tapes versus the regular Sony Mini DV tapes with low light footage shot on my Sony HVR Z5U, and noticed better images when I connected it to an HD monitor via HDMI. When images are better lit, the difference is harder to notice, but the slight improvement is worth the price difference on professional shoots.
