The bands have deteriorated alarmingly in their quality of three years to today. On average, every half minute a hacker or image distortion. We have tried several tapes of packs with different cameras, every time the same thing. On demand at Sony we were told that it could be that there is something "crept" into the production or that have us a fake was sold (delivered by Handynow). One could at Sony but not deal in detail with our request, because the customer for the product had expired, finally no camcorder would sell more with tape drives. Of course we use for receiving OPVT video tapes continue, but to look for another product.
