Summary: Drop-out free recording
Comment: I decided to invest in these Sony 'HDV' tapes after having problems trying to record 1080i video onto standard mini DV tapes. On almost all of the mini DV tapes I tried, I experienced intermittent drop-out of both sound and video. Whilst the overall picture quality of these tapes is probably no different, they are much more reliable. I have recorded several hours worth of footage on these Sony tapes, and haven't had any problems with drop-out whatsoever. So my advice would be this: if you intend to record something at 1080i resolution which you'll only get one shot at, invest a little more in these tapes to guarantee a trouble free and reliable recording.

Summary: Digital is Digital
Comment: I think what M.R. Mullin said is right. Different brands of DV tape makes no difference to a digital camcorder which is recording DIGITAL Data like a Compact Disc and not not ANALOGUE Data like an audio tape. So, in short any DV tape is fine inside a camcorder which uses it.

Summary: The Right Tape for your HDV Camcorder
Comment: Okay so miniDV tapes and HDV tapes can come in the same shape and size and some camcorders will let you write 1080i to your regular miniDV tapes but you are not going to get the best results unless you use the right tape for the camcorder. After switching to HDV with a Sony Camcorder and after using some high quality non-HDV miniDV tapes I switched my tape stock to Sony HDV tapes. Believe me I haven't looked back! The change in quality of recorded material is marked - colours and definition are that much more pronounced and unlike regular miniDV written to HDV content, there is no risk of frame dropout.

Why buy a quality camcorder and hobble it with inferior tape stock? You're compromising your content and not saving very much money in the long run.
