DV versus DVCAM Transitions

On P. 19 of the PD-170 Operating Instructions in the "Notes" section under the heading "Usable Cassettes," it says, "If you record in the DV format, the transition of a tape may not be smooth. We recommend that you use mini DVCAM cassettes and set REC MODE to DVCAM in the menu settings to obtain reliable clear pictures."

Is this really an issue or just an effort to sell the DVCAM format and the cassettes it uses?
