Well I have seen some professional grade tapes and some cost $30-50 dollars each. Can you tell me what are some professional tapes out there that are the best for XL2.

Thanks..

I'm guessing you're talking MiniDV?

I've had great results using Panasonic Master Quality Mini DV 63MQ tapes. You should be able to find them online any number of places for under $6 ea.

Ow, and you probably already knew, but for security: best is to stay with one brand if you choose one.
