I was at a camera store and noticed that regular panasonic mini dv tapes where around $25 for a pack of 6. But then at best buy I noticed they were $20 for just 2 panasonic (3ccd) mini dv tapes.

Is there any real difference in quality between the regular ones and the ones recommended for 3ccd cams?

Which one do you guys use? :smile:
 
use the Advanced Master tapes and nothing else. the cheap ones are cheap and crappy. use one type of tape only and stick with it. a quick search of the forum will give you tons of reasons why

you'll find a lot of references to the "Master" or "MQ" tapes - they are now called "Advanced Master" just in case you get confused.

The more expensive tapes are more robust....less likely for drop-offs and you can use them over a couple of times.

The cheap ones will give you the same quality, but won't be as reliable

I've used the pq and mq's....and I have not had a single problem with the mq's.
