DVM63AMQ vs. DVM60EJ6S (DVC)

[John Scott]

What is the difference between the MiniDV tapes?

Everyone seems to want the Advance Master Quality ones, but those only seem to be available online. I can purchase the other kinds in-store but I don't know if those are good for the HVX or if they will mess something up.

It might be basic info, but I don't want to mess up my camera.

Any help?

AMQ's are the best tape you can buy.

 

[John Scott]

Well, right. But if I am shooting just to screw around will any Panasonic MiniDV (or DVC) tape be ok to shoot with or will I be risking "mud" in the system.

 

[bilgami]

oh yeah if your just screwing around im sure any panny tape will im sure they all use the same lube system.

 

[John Scott]

How sure would you be on that? 100%? 75%? 50%?

No offense, I just want to make sure it will be ok for my camera.

 

[bilgami]

more like between 75 and 100.

I thought I read somewhere that the AMQs were discontinued?
