Camcorders Using Minidv Tape

October 23rd, 2010




Does it matter what type of MiniDV tape is used for MiniDV Hi-Definition camcorders?

Some Hi-Definition camcorders on the market use MiniDV just like some non-HD camcorders. There seem to be two kinds of MiniDV tapes: the standard kind which is most commonly found, and a special, more expensive kind which seems to be aimed at HD consumers. Would it be better to use a standard MiniDV tape in an HD MiniDV camcorder, or would it be better to use the more expensive kind?

they are the same.
however, miniDV has been on the market for over 10 years now and if you have to buy tape in an emergency from an unknown vendor, i would recomment the HDV label because that at least would be new stock.
