Panasonic AY-DVM60EJ6B 5+1 Pk 60 Minute Mini DV Camcorder Tape

A solid value tape, and buying this 6-pack bundle...

Strengths: Excellent value for money -- under 2 dollars a piece, if you shop around

Weakness: None, really. This is a reliable, yet basic (entry level) tape. It wil do the job for most consumer applocations.

You may have read that with the exception of Sony tapes, all DV tapes are pretty generic, and therefore this entry-level product is pretty much the exact same tape as an equivalent bottom-rung tape from JVC, Maxell, or whoever. That's true. So why buy this particular tape? Sure, you could buy a JVC tape or a Maxell tape, or whatever, if you could find them at this low price. But for me, even...

Panasonic AY-DVM60EJ6B 5+1 Pk 60 Minute Mini DV...

Strengths: Works great

Weakness: None so far

Products arrived in about 4 days. So far they seem to be as good as JVC MiniDV tapes that I used before. Can't argue with the low price. Will definitely buy again.

Best tapes

Strengths: long lasting, good performance, bonus tape

Weakness: none

I use these regularly . I am very satisfied with the quality. The bonus tape is definately a plus. Definately recommended and don't go for those cheap ones. The price not that high as compared to compititors

great quality/price

Strengths: really great price. cheaper than any products I saw in Bestbuy

Weakness: no, until now. I just tries one pack

I don't really think that tapes play such a important role. If you have a low end mini dv, you don't need to care about the tapes so much.

Good deal

Strengths: realy good deal. less than $2/pack. I used SONY tapes before. I didn't see any significant difference between them.

Weakness: I haven't find yet:) BTW, the shipping cost is comparable to the tape price:)

I bought them for my Canon Mini DV camrecorder. I didn't see any significant difference between them and the SONY tapes I used before. But I am just a DV newbie. I cannot do some delicate comparasion.

Best price

Strengths: Very good deal for a 6 pack. I would say the cheapest and well know brand - panasonic

Weakness: Nothing known of. Probably just that it is not Sony.

The best deal for DV tapes out there. Even Walmart sells the Panasonic 2 packs for $8-$9. So you will always have a source for this tapes close by. Especially since it is said that you should stick to one brand of DV tapes and not switch between brands. For 6 DV tapes I had to pay something like $15, plus I batched it up with the stratech firewire card for $18 and did not have to pay for shipping...

Panasonic AY-DVM60EJ6B 5+1 Pk 60 Minute Mini DV...

Strengths: The price for a ME tape is very good. ALso a Metal Evaporated Tape records better and does not damage the recorder head.

Weakness: None

I bought this as a replacement for a JVC MiniDV tape. I have a JVC MiniDV camcorder but the JVC tape does not work well. I used this and the pictures are a lot better. Color rendering is better than the JVC one. I'll gonna buy more of this tape. For the price I bought it, it was a steal.

GOOD TAPE

Strengths: Price as well as quality

Weakness: N/A

I bpught this for panasonic miniDV. Haven't had any problems with it yet and price is also cheaper as compared to other brands like Sony. But I would recommend to go with the same brand as your camcorder.

GOOD DV TAPE

Strengths: PRICE, PRICE, PRICE

Weakness: N/A

have not found any problems with this DV tape,and there seems no difference compared to sony tapes used before. of couse you need clean the head before make the switch.

Good Multipack

Strengths: Great Price

Weakness: None so far

I bought this pack to go with a new MiniDV camcorder. I had read a lot of reviews online to try to figure out the best brand, and from what I read they are all mostly the same among the big brands such as Sony, Panasonic, JVC, etc. The only recommendation I read was to buy one brand and stick with it, so it's a good idea to buy a multipack especially because it's cheaper than buying single packs....
