 Fantastic price, great with HD, don't hesitate September 19, 2008
With my Sony HDR-HC9E hi-def camcorder, these tapes record HD just as well as Sony's significantly more expensive HD specific tape, no dropouts, no loss of image quality, etc. I do not know about long term signal retention for archiving. At these prices I will be keeping my tapes as masters, not reusing them. NOTE: Apparently there can be problems with mixing tapes from different manufacturers due to tape lubricant incompatibility, so watch it. Summary: At these prices, make sure you have enough tapes with you. If you use Sony tapes, don't hesitate to stock up with these.

These DV tapes are indeed excellent but BE CAREFUL before hitting 'Place Your Order' as some sellars are adding 17.5% VAT and the a massive 7.69 postage making a seemingly 12 bargain end up being 22!!
The best price in town! October 17, 2007
This is by far the cheapest on the net or even than what you get in stores. The other companies advertise this for cheaper but they add 9 deliver charges for every item. If you take two or more packs of 10 with super saver delivery it's by far the cheapest and SONY is the BEST out there!
Great value, works even in my HDV cam October 8, 2007

I have used numerous brands of miniDV tapes over the years and have been sticking to these Sony ones for at least the last 2 years, firstly because these are great value, secondly I have not had any problems so far.
I actually upgraded from an ordinary Panasonic DV cam to the all new Canon HV20 Hi Def cam this year and still use these tapes in the new cam to record Hi-def footage! Yes, you can buy specialist HDV tapes, but they cost more. These normal Mini-DV tapes work just fine recording HDV footage. Obviously I can also record normal DV footage onto these tapes as well.
I am no expert in HD recording, I have no idea what advantage of using proper HDV tape is, surely there must be some reason. But for my casual use, I am happy to just still with these ordinary mini DV tapes. I may try the proper HDV tapes when I have an important event though.
All in all, I have no reason to switch to a different tape yet.
 Great Product buut at 11.95 Postage? August 30, 2007
This product is flawless. i had previously used it and was just about to purchase this from Amazon (sold by Quigleys) until I saw the postage cost... 11.95 to post some small DV tapes!! This is more than the cost of the product. Customers beware.
