The Sony MicroMV 60 minute, single blister tape is an extraordinary innovation,. Once again SONY come up trumps. When you purchase a very small camcorder, the last thing you want is a tape that would look at home in a Betamax toploader from the 80's. The image quality is superb and the sound is excellent (as usual, although, in order to use the tapes, the player needs to be pretty spectacular!). If there is one one drawback, it is that it is too small!!! Those of you out there with a clumsy disposition or stubby fingers will find that extra concentration is needed to load these things. But being typically 'gadgety', you can't fail with this high quality, space friendly bit of kit, go for it, you won't be sorry!!
