As another reviewer pointed out, 5 does seem like a lot but I rather have too many than not enough. Great starter pack for new video camera owners. Professionals might need a higher quality tape, but amateurs will have a hard time justifying anything else. By the way, it records up to 60 minutes in SP mode or 90 minutes in LP mode. Hence the 60-90 minute label. Have had no problem using them in my Canon ZR700 video camera

Quality of the video recorded on these tapes is very good. I have compared these tapes with SONY and JVC MiniDVs for the same Camcorder. I cannot confirm (since I have so far used 2 out of the 5 tapes in this pack), but in SP mode, it actually records more than the promised 60 minutes.The packaging should be improved - It hardly provides any protection to the tapes inside.With this product available at some retailers at about $12, each tape comes out to be only $2.4 !! Thats a great price for a MiniDV.

I got these tapes for my Canon Optura S1 camcorder. I've heard that it's better to use the same manufacturer's tape as the camcorder. But the price of these Panasonic's is unbeatable. I think Panasonic is just as good as Canon, right? Anyway, I've been using these tapes for about one week now, and haven't found any problem yet. Good overall performance. The video and audio quality are both good. I have seen other's review saying that it's not good to mix different brand tapes. As these Panasonic ones offers good enough quality and reasonable price, I will probably stick with it. A very good value minidv tapes, recommended to those amateurs like me.

I use these Panasonic mini dv tapes with my Panasonic GS35 camcorder. The performance is very good, and the price is even better. I have been using these tapes for a week now, and I have not seen any dropped frames yet. These are an excellent value for your money, and I highly recommend them to be used for day to day home video.
