New "FULL SIZE" HDV tapes from Sony
Just read that Sony has released the ONLY -- so far -- full-size HDV tapes:
PHDV-186DM ---- offers 124M with DVCAM PHDV-276DM ---- offers 184M with DVCAM Obviously, Sony didn't do this just for fun -- which means someone must be going to release a new HDV camcorder at NAB that will use these tapes. Could this mean a shoulder-mount "Z1" with 1440x1080 CCDs? With 24F? Under $10,000?

I thought I read somewhere that Sony had introduced a new HDV deck which takes the larger tapes. Or did I imagine that?...

Awhile back I predicted an HDV replacement for the DSR-250. Wouldn't surprise me to see one at NAB.

Simply Sony release now a new line of HDV desktop player/recorder and they can make a big business by selling expensive tapes specially branded "HDV", since they missed this market with the cameras. (who ever put an HDV tape in his HDV camera before ?). I was their mistake since one of the big point they pushed was that HDV was DV compatible.
So whe they released HDV tapes that cost 4x the price of a DV tape, guess what happens. |

I use the HDV tapes. It is what they recommended and it is what I bought. In the beginning, who knew for sure? Now I continue to use them because I have no trouble at all with them.

Nope, because the XL H1 accepts only the Mini size. These cassette shells are significantly larger (full size).

We use the Sony PDV-184DM standard cassette for (VTR) DV production and the PHDVM-63DM mini in our FX-1 and A-1 camcorders. This is Sony's top-of-the-line DVCAM product. I'll bet it's cheaper than the "new" HDV tape and may be the same thing.

These tapes would work great for Time-lapsing using a HDV feed into a next-M10 VTR and record over 3 hours of time lapse HDV which can be sped up in post.
