New to Panny, just bought HVX200 and as well as shooting P2 I also intend shooting a lot of stuff to Tape in standard def.

With my Sony gear I use Sony large DVCAM tapes, when I owned a Canon XL1 I used to use Panasonic DVM63Pro (I think that is what they were called?). Now I have HVX200, which are the best Panasonic tapes i.e. model number of them?

I don't care how much they cost, I don't like scrimping on a few dollers/pounds. If they cost £10/$20 each I don't care. I just want the best tapes for the camera and I'll then stick with them.

Whilst here, my JVC GY-HD101E is also brand new, could I use the same Panny tapes (that you recommend from above) in the JVC also, or should I be looking at JVC branded tapes in case of clogged head problems that Panny tapes might give?

Panasonic AY-DVM63PQ. Don't use the 83 min tapes.
