My Canon camcorder has managed to chew up 2 TDK tapes, sent the camera back and had the offending bits replaced under warranty.

Whilst I believe it to be entirely a camera fault (the tapes had only been used for c. 30mins each with minimal rwd'ing/ffwd'ing) I thought I'd take the opportunity to canvas for suggestions on decent tapes to use on the off chance that they may have been a factor.

The tapes will just be used for the usual holiday stuff etc, all contributions/experiences appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

I hae a Sony camera and use Sony tapes... no problems thus far, but then they are made by the same manufacturer

I'll be interested what the reply is as I have just bought a Cannon MV550i.I know Cannon do their own brand tapes,but Jessops said any good quality one would do.

Try e-mailing Canon as to what brand they recommend. then stick to it. That's what I did with my Minolta still camera and Flash- cards.

Sony camera & Sony tapes work for me.
Once tried Maxell and ended up with random sound & picture dropouts.
