It's YOU, not the tape...
by mdrvideo ,Mar 22 '05
Pros: GREAT TAPE - NO DROP-OUTS, INEXPENSIVE
Cons: WHEN I THINK OF ONE, I'LL LET YOU KNOW
I HAVE BEEN USING THESE TAPES EXCLUSIVELY IN MY VIDEO PRODUCTION BUSINESS FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS AND NOT A SINGLE DROPPED FRAME.

THE PROBLEM THE OTHER REVIEWER EXPERIENCED IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE SWITCHED BRANDS - THERE IS A COMPATIBILITY ISSUE WITH THE TAPES.

TAPES ARE LUBRICATED TO HELP WITH THE PATH IN THE CAMERAS - EACH MANUFACTURER USES DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS TO LUBE THEIR TAPES - CAN'T TELL YOU WHICH IS BETTER, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT ONCE YOU PICK A BRAND OF TAPES, DON'T CHANGE IT UNTIL YOUR CAMERAS ARE THOROUGHLY CLEANED. WHEN SOME OF THE DIFFERENT LUBRICATIONS ARE MIXED, THEY CAN GET GUMMY, STICKY, ETC.

THAT GUY MESSED UP HIS OWN CAMERA.

CHRIS

PS - I HAVE USED APPROXIMATELY 250 OF THESE TAPES

Messed up my Sony DVCAM/DV recorder AND Cannon mini DV camera
by momalmighty ,Feb 14 '05
Pros: none!
Cons: Can mess up your camera and other devices!
I'd thought Fuji was a quality brand because Fuji 35 mm film always gave good results. After using Fuji DVM-60 to record a wedding with my Cannon ZR60 mini dv camcorder, I placed the Fuji tape into my Sony DSR-11 DVCAM/DV player/recorder. After a few seconds of playing the tape I realized it was messed up! When I tried to eject the tape, it wouldn't eject.

I had to take the tape out by hand, unscrewing my Sony DSR-11 and in the process, broke the Sony DSR! I sent the tape to a specialist to have it repaired/restored just to save a precious wedding tape. I must add that my Canon ZR60 had also been messed up!

I had previously used Panasonic miniDV tapes in the camera and the recorder with no problems. I would advise folks to check message boards, etc. regarding Fuji tape problems.
