    Which brand of Mini DV Tapes do you use?

    Content people.... what brand of tapes do you prefer shooting with? I like Fuji personally. Im looking to buy a couple hundred tapes (Bulk). Which tapes are the best?

    Anyone use these?

      Most of the ones I use are about the same in quality: Sony, Fuji, and Maxell.... The only one I didnt care for was the JVC.

                  A bit of advice: Don't use Panasonic MiniDV tapes in a Sony.

                  Sorry forgot to add that I have litterally used hundreds of the SONY DVM60PR2's. In bulk you can get them for like 4 bucks each. In a pinch I have used a few of the JVC and TDK with no problems either.

                                  Only Fuji...cheap DV are made from the side of the big tape and could cause problems

                                      We've used 100's of Panasonics with no trouble. They all seem good. We just bought some Sonys at Fry's for 1.99, but you can't get bulk.

                                      Street discount price is around $3. Try Ecost.com

                                          Agreed. All I use is the Panasonics. Never had a problem.

                                              The tapes are fine, it's what the tapes do to the heads on your sony camcorder. (leaves crud on them) But this was almost 2 years ago, maybe Panasonic uses different materials now.

                                              Thank's for the heads up on ecost, I'll check them out. Wish we had a Fry's around here

                                              I need to stock up for Spring.

                                                      Hey man...Just pick a decent tape and use it consistantly. From what I have been told....Different tapes use different lubricants and that mixing these is what can creat the crud build up.

                                                      I do not know how much truth there is to that but I use the same brand of tape, every time, in 2 different Sony cameras and I have never seen a drop in quality.

                                                          Exactly, that's what we've been doing for the past 2 years using just sony tapes unless I am in a pinch.
