Customer Reviews

"Premium" means "average" in non-Sony speak
Don't be fooled, "premium" means "average consumer grade" in non-Sony speak. But that being said, it's a perfectly fine tape for taping your kids at the local park or a ball game.

The main difference is that consumer tape isn't designed for archival storage, so you may experience more drop-outs or tape delaminating as it gets older.

Works well with HDV Camcorders
Sony tapes work well with the new HDV camcorders that record in high definition. Previously, I was able to use the cheaper TDK, Fuji, Maxell tapes with my old Sony DV camcorder without problems but these tapes gave dropouts while shooting in high definition. On the other hand, using the higher quality Sony or Panasonic tapes work just fine for HDV. These tapes work and are 1/4 the price of the specialized HDV tapes that Sony offers. The only benefit to spending more for the Sony HDV tapes are longevity.

The best MiniDV cassettes out there
This is the best MiniDV tape you can get in the market. It gave me better results than TDK, JVC, etc. I would surely recommend it to you
