Customer Review: You owe it to your camcorder
Summary: 5 Stars
#-#-#-[ Why this rating? ]-#-#-#
Some 2 years ago, when I bought my HV20, I did a lot of research on tapes, and the consensus overwhelmingly pointed to the Panasonic AMQ family.
So far, with over 50 tapes used, I am a happy camper indeed - no dropouts, and great quality.
I am a true believer now, and hence the 5-star "I Love It!" rating.
#-#-#-[ Tape Types ]-#-#-#
Irrespective of the tape you decide to use, I learned that it was more important to be loyal to the type of lubricant used - referred to by my friends as wet or dry tapes.
The Panasonic belongs to the dry type family, whereas Sony tapes use a wet lubricant. For instance, Panasonic claims that this tape uses a "... dry type lubricant [that] causes less video head wear (-4µm after 500H). It also prevents head clogs and extends head life. "
While some on the 'net argue that this distinction is an urban myth - I decided to trust my professional friends on this issue.
This difference is not material until you switch between the two types - which can lead to clogged video heads.
#-#-#-[ Archival ]-#-#-#
I rely very heavily on tape as an archival mechanism for all my HD masters. Hence my decision to go with the AMQ series over the PQ series (which are a bit cheaper).
Happy Recording!

Description of Panasonic AY-DVM63AMQ 63 / 42 Minute Master Quality Mini-DV Digital Tape.
Panasonic, the pioneer in the DV tape developments, now introduces a line-up of DV tape, which is designed for professional usage. After 25 years of extensive research, Panasonic has developed a new evaporation technology named S-AME(Super Advanced Metal Evaporation). With the new process, it is now possible to improve magnetic density 400% over current type. High Output Power Comparing with current tape, the power has been increased 1dB, thus more precise and secure recording became possible. Superb Linearity Thanks to *DLC and original tape base formation, the tracking gap has been minimized by 0.5um. This insures high performance even in severe conditions. Low Head Wear With our original dry type lubricant, video head wear is much less compare with other tape brands (-7um after500H.). Also it prevents head clog to occur.MiniDV
