I have the PD170.
The PD170 takes both tapes.
the difference is not quality, but reliability. The tape runs twice as fast, and so you have much less chance of getting piclation. But the tapes only last 40 mins. DV cam tapes also cost a lot more and not easy to get.
Do not get the PD170 for the DV cam side, but get it for the picture quality, sound and many other features.
DV Cam tapes are used mainly for studio work. But the pic quality is the same. Its just more durable.
