We don't use anything else

"We are professional videographers using Canon XH-A1 cameras. This is the tape we use for all our shoots. We've never had a tape that was faulty or had issues capturing. I love that the front of the tape has the space to write on. The current picture shows a blue MiniDV label which, in our most recent orders, has been a plain white label. We have received the tapes that have the blue label before but hopeful..." Read Full Review »

Cautiously optimistic

"We use large quantities of MiniDV tape here at our 3 channel local access television studio. The last batch of 100 Panasonics seemed to have an awful lot of bad tapes. I had never had that problem before, so I hope it was a fluke. But I definately am going to be cautious and test before important shoots...." Read Full Review »

"As VJs, we go through a lot of mini-DV tapes. Whenever we're forced to buy lesser quality tapes locally, the quality of the Panasonic Pro tapes really stands out. It never ceases to surprise me that people spend big $ on a camera and then use poor quality tapes - defeats the point of using a good ca …"  Read Full Review »

"I have been using Panasonic tapes for years, and would probably not use anything else. I work all over the world and in documentary work you only have ONE TAKE, so it is important not to "cheap out" on tape.



I have been using the 33 minutes tapes as well for domestic use, so I don't waste so much …"  Read Full Review »
