Sony Premium Mini DV Tapes

[Todd Clark]

Can sombody tell me what the differences are between the Sony Premium DVM80PRR and the Sony Premium DVM80PRL ? I cannot find anything that explains the two different model numbers. Thanks for your help!

For the Sony Premium DVM80PRL I found this on the SONY B2B site - it is almost at the end of a very, very long list:

Sony | For Business | Search Result

For the Sony Premium DVM80PRR I COULD NOT find anything on an official SONY site, but I found lots of retailers giving explanations.

In essence it is the difference between the "L" and the "R" suffix.

However I did find this: "Mfgr. Product ID: DVM80PRL (formerly DVM80PR & DVM80PR2)" over on this site: Sony Mini DV Tapes 80 Minute Premium MiniDV Video Tapes

Go figure!

Grazie

Thanks for posting! Are you saying that there is no difference? I knew the only difference was the suffix but what is the reason for the different suffix? Is there something different about the two tapes?

Thanks!

[Graham Bernard]

I'm not saying either way. Did you read closely what I researched and found?

Grazie

...formerly DVM80PR & DVM80PR2...

In some cases the suffix may relate to the retail packaging; e.g., single pack vs. 2-pack, etc. However, that will depend on what the maker decides to do.

Then it could be the L is for left-handed shooters and R for right-handed shooters <G>.
