Is anyone using Sony Premium MiniDV tape in the GL2? I'd like to hear opinions on quality.

Also, has anyone used the 120 or 180 minute tape?

I prefer Fuji. I also suggest sticking with 60 min tapes.

I have used the tapes before in XL-1 w/o problems. The most important think is to stick to one tape brand. Presently, I am using Panasonic Master Grade DVM63.

I have been very reluctant to use the longer tapes, because I worry about durability.
