As per your experience, Panasonic is a better tape especially for the
money. Some repair guys will parrot the typical Sony sales line and I
know several others who will tell you that they get far more repair
issues related to Sony tape than any other. You experience with
Panasonic in your PD150 suggests that the repair guy may not know the
full story. I certainly have heard otherwise. If he's going to talk
about Sony cameras being "set up" for a specific 6mm ME tape as if
there was some kind of different bias or something, I'd sure like to
know what the engineering is.
