5 Stars Sony - My Favorite Brand of Mini DV Cassettes
I’ve been a professional video/TV producer most of my life. I still shoot a lot of mini DV format for webcasting - You Tube etc. I’ve experimented with other brands, but I’ve found Sony to be the most dependable, with the least amount of dropouts and other issues, over a period of 10 or 15 years of regularly using the format.
So this recent purchase I made of 20 cassettes at a great price gets 5 stars from me. I’ll be buying from this supplier again! To check out professional footage on Sony mini DV in my home studio, search “timothy james dean channel” on u tube. The quality is excellent!
5 Stars A great way to stay stocked up
As the video guru at a small private college, I’m called upon to record and archive everything from guest lecturers to graduation ceremonies, and I like using one trusted brand of tape for all my cameras and to give crews when I contract for their services. By budgeting about $60 for tape on each project through Amazon, I always have fresh bricks of Sony DVC-60 cassettes on hand for large projects and everyday shoots.
1 Stars 60 Minutes?
Did anyone else buy these in 2009 from “Lowest Prices & Best Service Corp. DBA Number 1 in service”? Mine are all 45 minutes long!! It took me a long time to realize this.
5 Stars DV ?
A really great product which I’ve used before.I was happy to find out that this kind of media is still available you know for old fogeys like me.
3 Stars Sony dvc premium mini dv 60
Sony put so many different labels on these blue covered tapes it’s hard to know if you’re dealing with the same item. I’ve been using a lot of these tapes and have had a lot of problems mostly in the VCR mode where the tape just hangs for a few seconds and starts again. I do my editing directly to a DVD recorder and this is very annoying because these stops are transferred to the final product. Sometines the camera stops working and tells me to reinsert the tape. This happens with no other tapes.

3 Stars The SYNC is my problem
The pen is great for taking notes and recording your sessions… it comes with the earpiece that is also used as a microphone. The biggest problem i have experience and frustrating as well is the sync. it does not sync right the first time which leaves no other option but to sync one more time. The customer service was very helpful but it took for ever for them to answer.
Livescribe is a really good idea for the person that takes very bad notes and likes to review the notes on the computer and have the option of sharing it with a group or individuals on line. Check out the videos for a preview of how the notes are read on your personal pc. Their website is [...]…
But if you can wait I suggest just taking a regular notepad and a pencil. With livescribe you can not erase either so if you make a mistake you need to just black it out or keep writing.
3 Stars Battery dies in 1.5 hours…
Everything is find until you realize the battery dies in less than two hours! So take it into account if your meeting is longer than that.
4 Stars great when it works
This pen is great when it works, but it breaks too easily. I would say the internal bugs have not been worked out. If you use the pen everyday for several hours a day it eventually breaks.
This is an expensive pen and is great if you have the money. The outside construction seems fine but the pen eventually falls apart. The seals come undone.
4 Stars Battery died and had to replace pen
I have seen several negative comments here about customer support and pens. My pen worked several months then one day I noticed it ran out pretty quickly then went down hill from there and would not hold a charge. I called twice the first time they had me upgrade my software and let the pen charge. That did not work so I called back they were nice and immediately sent me a replacement out. I was very happy with the customer service. I did use the pen alot over that 10 month period.
4 Stars More than what it appears
My friend and I had passed by this pen in an electronics store and he had mentinoed how over-priced and ridiculously un-useful it seemed. However, it caught my attention as I work in a technology consulting firm and sometimes there are just SO many details being told to me at once I’m bound to forget something. So I purchased it.
It’s been incredibly useful and has even helped me to increase my work productivity. I do not have to go in to pester my boss to ask for the details she had given to me the day before, and if someone has left the office I can catch anybody else up by letting them listen in on conversations that I was present it. If someone is explaining something very technical to me, and I am having trouble re-explaining it to others I can let them listen to the diescriptiong directly via the pen. You can put your notes into the computer and digitally search them. The search feature is very robust, and even manages to recognize MY horrible handwriting, which is a huge help when I’m being asked to recall details from a week ago and can search through my hand-written notes instantly.
The pen also has a feature where you can point it at a word you wrote down and it will play back the audio that is specifically associated with that word.
I still to feel the pen is a little expensive, but it’s been a well-worthy purchase as it has helped pay for itself at work, and I know it’s going to be immensely helpful in college.
