  jvc mini dv tape

  Posted by David Zuckerman on September 26, 2005 at 9:54 pm

  My tape distributor has just informed me JVC is discontinuing its
  JVC 60ME (DVM60) mini dv tape.
  I currently shoot with a JVC GY-DV700 camera.
  My question is…What is the next best comparable tape to use with this camera?

  Many of us use Panasonic LinearPlus tapes (the lowest-priced mDV tapes that Panny makes).
  I have shot literally HUNDREDS of these without ANY problems at all in my Sony PD150 lots of decks at locations where I freelance.
  I also use them in my Canon GL-1.

  There are many good tape sellers on-line.
  Google for their names and find the price you like.

  But as another option, I go to eBay to buy miniDV stock, in-quantity, for around $2.50 per tape.
  The more you buy at once, the less the postage will average per tape.

  Here’s a link or two just to demo what I mean (I do not know these sellers).

  And there are many more.
