Hi everone. Has anyone tried the Fuji betacam SP tape stock? The reason I'm asking is that in the Hi8 we use for acquisition, the Fuji stock has outperformed Sony stock, and I'm wondering if this is the case for beta also. Thanks, BTW this message has also been posted on the BP forum. Bob.

I use SONY Beta Cam Stock and FUJI Hi/8 stock. I have been told that the SONY Beta Cam recording decks are optimized for use with SONY tape. I don't know if that is true but I don't take chances. And you are correct. The Fuji HI/8 tape is working better for me than SONY. Regards Avery Russell

Thanks, Avery. I'v gotten 5 responses back, 3 of which say that Fuji has fewer dropouts in beta, 1 says Fuji has more dropouts than Sony. Go Figure! Bob
