How long can the video record at the lowest resolution? Is it limited by the battery charge to 1hour?

About 45 minutes (there is no low resolution mode, it's always HD). Yes, the recording time is dependent on the battery.

My longest video has been half an hour and the battery is OK for that. I bought an Olympus charger and extra battery but have not needed it so far.

Yes there is a 30 minute limit on video length and then yes, you have to press record again to do up to 30 minutes more. By then you'll need to swap batteries. Batteries last a maximum of a bit over an hour at 1080p. Aftermarket batteries often last more like 45 minutes.The 30 minute limit exists no matter what quality of video you choose to record in, even the lowest which is 480p.The limit is there because this camera only accepts SD cards that are formatted FAT32, and FAT32 has a max file size limit of 4GB, in which it can get close at the 1080p setting. I think they were lazy to keep the limit on lower qualities and to not support NTFS for that matter.

Manual says 10 hours with battery. SD card determines hours or actual video record time. 32gb would last many hours.

max 8 hrs but you have to select the recording speed. the faster the speed the less recording time

I get about 30 to 35 mins. Its funny how they make a product with the recording time of so long but fall shot on battery life to even come close to that amount of time. Guess its a trade off for the small form factor.

there is no time limitation for this camera. only problem is the batt only last about 30min for videoing.also, I had a time the camera show over heating when videoing in mexico. which force me to stop.this one support full hd 1080p 60i. fantastic quality.

Yes, but if you plan to use battery power, get a larger size battery. It also depends upon the recording resolution. At full HD 60p it will record for more than 3 hours. It lower resolution it can record for more than 12 hours - much longer than your battery.

I don't own the camera but the battery I think lasts more than that. But I would like to add that the 10 minutes limit is on the video itself. Canon SX1 IS has limit of 4GB per video - which comes out to be 10 minutes of 1080p video at 30fps. This was a big turn off for me.If Canon didn't impose this limit, nobody would buy their expensive (~ $1000) HD camcorders like HF S 100 which shoots 1080p video and 8 megapixel stills.

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

The battery last two hours (recording).The quality of pictures is ok but isn't comparable with the dslr.A monitor can be attached via HDMI port

The recorder only has 13 hours of HD recording space. Resolution can not be changed on recorder to save space. Only issue I had was my time zone would go to Atlantic time zone. I would check it once a month to make sure it was in the Central time zone.

It takes two "AAA" batteries. I do not know, the longest time I have recorded is 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Yes, however you may want to consider purchasing a longer life battery if you want to film something that lasts longer than an hour or two.

The manual says to expect 240 min. of playback time. The battery does run down when the camera is not in use, and usage will affect the available time.
