Camcorder Tapes/Films

[Beth__WDW23/6/02]

We have a few tapes,for the camcorder,but was wondering if we needed more,we should be able to buy them in orlando,walmart? etc? Just want to make sure,and double check just in case.
We have bought 12films for the camera,if we run out hehe (we didnt manage to capture much last year),we should be able to get them there too also?

Thanx Beth.

Yes, you can get camcorder tapes in most of the electrical/camera shops, around the parks and probably in places like Walmart. However, you will probably be able to buy tapes cheaper at home as I've found they're quite expensive in Orlando (especially in th eparks).

U can buy cheap tapes from shops on I-drive, compared with the likes of dixons there not too badly priced , the parks tapes are very dear, and remember to buy Pal tapes.

Can't remember exactly how much they were in Orlando (in Walmart), but an electronics shop tried in vain to sell me some tapes for $15 each. If you want cheap tapes try this company below.

but I've always rung the Manchester branch, or travelled in like I did the other day (buying the tapes always makes me feel as though the holiday is almost here!)
Manchester branch - 24 Wilmslow Rd, Rusholme Tel: 0161 248 0037
I bought JVC 60ME tapes for £2.29 on this occasion, but they do a few different manufactures if that doesn't suit.
Hope this helps...

The tape itself is universal; it's the signal (PAL or NTSC, for example) which varies from camera to camera. Tape bought in any country will work without any problems in UK camcorders.

We bought a new battery and tapes here, but found them cheaper at the airport while waiting to board

We also bought more tapes in Wal-mart as we found they were cheaper.

Also I always get my camera films developed in wal-mart as it is a lot cheaper. I drop them in in the morning, go to the parks and then pick them up.... usually after midnight
