Hi Dvers

Simple Question Are all mini DV tapes compatible with each other?

I had my Sony TRV50E Mini DV stolen in Barcelona.

I now have the Insurance money.

Do I have to buy a Sony to make sure my old Sony recorded Mini DV tapes
still work.

All recorded at normal speed i.e. not long play. I.e. If I buy a Panasonic
or Canon Mini Camcorder will they play the mini dv Tapes recorded on my old
Sony/
I guess the answer should be yes. Are there any Camera Shops that would let
me try one of my tapes in other camcorders?

Thanx for any advice
