User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good basic tapes
These are good basic tapes for use in my eight year old Sony Digital8 camera. I hope they keep making these tapes for at least a few more years. Why get a new camera when I can get really good video with all the features I need to transfer them onto DVD using this older camera?
I got a decent price on Amazon buying them one tape at a time. It still comes out to be cheaper than driving over to Best Buy - and they come right to my door.
5 Stars The best tape for my Sony camcorder
I have used other brands and find this to be the best tape for my Sony camcorder. I do love Sony stuff and they always work best with Sony accessories!
5 Stars Its a sony product
I bought two Sony 120 Minute Hi8 casettes for my sharp camcorder. I used it over the long weekend.The recording was just phenomenal. On playback,it seems as if all the events happen again. It is a must buy.
4 Stars Expensive, but good quality and dependable…..
I have a SONY Digital 8mm and I’ve tried a variety of tapes. For most purposes, other tapes are comparable. However, if you are fussy about color, especially flesh tones, sunsets and unusual lighting, you may find this tape a bit more vibrant. For many purposes, however, other tapes can give you equal performance for less money.
It has also been my experience that these tapes are rugged and can be used again and again. These seem to hold up well and this may or may not be true of other vendors. I think any reputable company makes comparable tapes in terms of durability, but if you are looking for high quality video, then you may feel the extra money is worth the marginal additional cost.
5 Stars Site maintained by crazed monkeys!
I’d also love to buy one of these gems at this price, but alas no buy button. They’ll sell me a used tape, however at two times the price. Grrrrrrr. I give this item 5 stars out of a posible Carl Sagan Billions and Billions.
