Sony HDV Media Clogs Up Camera Heads

In the early days of MiniDV, DV camcorders were reported to last approximately 50 hours. The reason for this was discovered to be a difference in tape lubricant across brands (more specifically, Sony having a different formula to everyone else) causing almost irreperable head clogging. Those days have passed, but a DVdoctor Column suggests that Sony have done it again with the latest high definition camcorders. This is a very serious matter for DV enthusiasts, who may be damaging their expensive recording equipment by using different tape brands.

This just proves me right again in not buying Sony products any more. My camcorder was the last one and even when I bought it right after christmas I felt that it wasnt a good idea stuffing my money into Sony's throat. But I was too lazy to research more on good DV camcorders (and didnt find any good info sources anyway) and even got a bad one from Canon before the salesman recommended me the Sony. Sony was once a great company but since the MD incident (and maybe even sooner) they are just another money sucking, corrupt, ignorant and arrogant company. I would rather buy an xbox 2 than an ps3 too. |
