Hey all,

I have pretty much decided to get a PD170 after it was suggested on here for it's low light capabilities. I had been looking at a used XL1S or an XL2 but don't really think I would even utilize their main feature of the interchangable lenses.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has used the Sony DVM-80PR tapes and if they had success with them. Considering I am planning on doing some weddings it would be nice not to have to change tapes partway through the ceremony. Thanks for any info...

I've used them a few times with no problems at all but mainly for final output.

I have used the 80pr's in the exact manner you are wanting to use them (wedding video).. Probably use about 25 per year. I have never had a single problem with them.
