What is the difference between there and the Sony DVM60PR10KB 60-Minute Premium DVC/MiniDV Tapes ?

If there is any difference, I can not see it. I've used the dvc60prl for years in both Sd and HDV cameras and the less expensive tape works great.

I do not know the exact answer, but my experience as a videographer tells me, that most likely there is no difference. The most significant step up would be Sony DVM 63HD tapes that are of a really higher quality, and can record in two formats. The are also very expensive.

You can use any brand, so far I have use Sony and Maxell, the importance is the size of the casette. For example: Maxell MAXUR90 UR-90 90-Minute Audio Tape, this size of tape is the size that the Sony TCM-210DV uses. Hope it helps you.

I have 2 of these cameras. I bought off of ebay 2 Panasonic Omnivision VHS tape recorder/player for around $20 each. I use 8 hrs(EP) premium grade video tapes. Down side is you record only 8 hrs survalence but quality of picture and sound is great.

mini dv is digital i'm not sure why'd you'd stick it into an analog vhs machine. Mini DV is zeros and 1's magnetically held.. vhs is like frequencies not digital that are held magnetically. Two different information sources.

I am torn between these exact same two camcorders also. Looking forward to your follow-up post!

TheA-30 is definitely a better bet. Just received one 2 weeks ago and no regrets at all. Even upconverts regular dvd's beautifully.

Hi, did you ever find out the difference? I need to order tapes myself! Thanks

As far as I know the thinner is the Hi 8mn (looks like the old small audio casset) and has no adapter in the market and the thicker is the VHS-C and has the adapter (smaller inside the bigger one), so this camcorder plays with the thinner 8mm.

As far as I can tell it is the same tape used for the DCR - HC46. the DVM60 is a standard mini DV size.

Yes, these record on mini-dv tapes. They also have a slot for an sd-card. Quality and legnth of recording seem better on the tape.

note: this is not an answer, but a elaboration of the original query... ---- having arrive at this product's link the same way, i have exactly the same question :) both are sold by baiklov, but the predecessor(?) sells for $23.90 where this model for $38.50. both claim 720p capability with otherwise very similar features & accessories. based on what little product detail (not even a user manual for prepurchase perusal??) available on

Yes, this Panasonic Mini DV tape may be used to record on in a Sony DCR PC101 camera. I think it would arrive before May 20 if you order on April 22.

I've ordered the HF100. 549$.I couldn't see any difference between the HG20's 24Mbps recording and the HF100's 17Mbps recording on 40" fullHD Toshiba lcd.It's cheaper about 90$, about 2 16GB SDHC Cards and a 8GB SDHC card...I will use my PS3 to watch videos, no need 60Gb capacity on camcorder.

No. That one is the non-HD model. Indicators are the price and that box doesn't have [HD] on it. The 0.3pm (non-HD) compared to 2mp video quality is substantial. The 2mp/HD is much, much better and worth the extra if you plan on recording any video.

I don't know as I haven't compared the two. I can tell you that this one was very easy to install. It works flawlessly and the quality of the captures is at least 720p. It is also VERY easy to use. The dude below isn't really correct. You can record 1080p through HDMI but you cannot output it with HDMI through tv. Component cables are what you need. I went with this one for the price and I couldn't be happier. I might even attempt cutting cable and using this for over the air. Edit: Avermedia does capture 1080i with HDMI but you won't be to output it. This is true of all pvr.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.
