Never had a bad one. Works great in my Canon HDV30. Make sure you get the matching head cleaner.

When you need a product you can rely on, Panasonic has it with their PQ series tapes. I personally prefer the 63 minute to the 83 (thickness over length). I have no problem swapping out a tape when I am close. I shoot my wedding videos on these and the footage is always on the mark. I archive the tapes with unedited footage for future (if any) needs.

Best bang for your buck for quality MiniDV that is reliable in the field and in the editing bay. Never any problems with these tapes even after several uses. Best MiniDV tape for pros and amateurs.

I've been shooting video with this tape for over 4 years and have had consistent results time and time again. Very cost effective for live event mastering. Storage cases are durable and do not break easily like some other manufacturers.

I've used mini-DV tapes made by several different companies and varied levels of quality. I used one "master" level Panasonic one that cost much more and gummed up my heads constantly with no increase in video quality. This tape is consistently good quality with low cost, and I would highly recommend it for any video use. I shoot real estate video tours, and even with supplemental lighting occassionally I have to use a high level of gain for a very dark room - while the video quality has some noise it is nowhere as grainy as I would have expected. Don't waste money on more expensive tapes with no better performance.

I've used DV tapes ranging from drugstore cheapies (in emergencies) up to $25+ "master quality" tapes that are supposedly better for HDV than so-called "standard" DV tapes. But these Panasonic tapes perform just as well as higher-priced tapes, so why should I buy anything more expensive? :)

I've been using this tape for years. Seems great for the price. Never a dropout. The little plastic cases are so nice, stay shut, and are square for easy stacking.

This has always been my standard stock. I shoot events and short movies and have never had any issues with this tape.
