To be honest, I didn't think that tapes were still being manufactured, but Sony has a habit of hanging onto its proprietary formats longer than most...

Sony has announced that it will stop selling Betamax video cassettes in March 2016.

The firm revealed on its website that it will also stop shipping the Micro MV cassette, used in video cameras.

It has not produced a compatible camera for the Micro MV since 2005.
