MiniDV Cassettes question
I recently got a new miniDV cam and I was wondering do the cassettes make a big difference? I know the camera is what it is but do the tapes used make all that much difference in the overall quality ? If the tapes do make some difference what tapes do you reccomend and why and which would you stay away from and why.
I know many of you have more experience so I thought I would ask
Thanks for your answers,

I choose my tape brand by superficial stuff like the labels available, storage case quality, the build quality of the actual cassette, and of course price. I've found I can get a 6-pack of (I think they're) TDK tapes at Sam's club for like $25 or so. I seem to remember Costco has another brand with a similar deal.
Hope that helps. God bless, FCiB.
The only difference out there is DVCAM from sony, which is their version of MiniDV but the only difference is if you shot it on a DVCAM camera you'll only get 40minutes from what appears to be a 60 minute tape because the tape speed is marginally faster, to supposedly encode more information and help with the usual timecode breaks, that MiniDV suffers from.
Hey you're in ft worth? aren't you you might have seen some of the work I've done, Ever see the commercials for The House and Organic Gardening show with howard garret? I made that as well as Austin Schools of Massage, thats the only ads I've made in the DFW market.

I have the JVC in This Link
I got it for $399.00 at Best Buy I am more than impressed with the quality. I am by no means in need of a professional model.
I have not seen your work in my area. I will keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for your info.
