video length? Can anyone tell me how long a video you can take with this camera?

Depends on resolution. The video will stop when the file size reaches about 2 GB. I think it's about 12 minutes on high resolution.

So sorry for the delay in answering ... my 12 year old granddaughter had the camera with her in Costa Rica. after checking out the camera myself I see that it does take videos but I haven't used it myself so I don't know how great they are. Plus, she lost the instructions and I can't figure this out.

I have two of these camera but I have no idea how much built in memory they have. They are designed to use the mini dv tapes or onto a memory chip that does not come with the camera. I use the mini dv tapes that I guy from amazon really cheap and they will have 1 hour per tape if you use the regular settings.

This may help: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_a2500#Specifications There is a chart at the bottom that shows the length of movie based on size, memory, and frames per sec! At high res, you can get about 49 min with only 8gb

Reports say 10 minutes battery life on video. I'd call this a short burst video camera. I have 16 GB memory card to cover my casual image and video use. Video shooting for you might need 32 or 64 GB card. Extra batteries certainly needed (Amazon has replacement $4 & $4 shipping). I just got camera & have only tried auto with flash on, day and night---resulting in super sharp quality photos. Have not tried any video, but should be excellent because of several setting options. I was super-surprised with picture quality, with night flash shots.

No.. I am not intersted to record videos. What's about the photo quality? almost same?

What options does this camera have in regard to recording time (1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute clips or other?)

I never used the camera for video. As to your second question, the camera only runs on batteries, and the batteries cannot be recharged in camera.

It genuinely depends on how you use it. Lower quality video extends battery life. That being said I'm usually good for about 3 hours +/- .5 hours. I really do like this camera but I'm not a highly technical person. For my purposes (documentation) it is good enough.

NO time lapse and it can record up to 29 minutes per clip, but 29 is NOT the total limit for taking videos. Once you're done with the first 29 minutes, you can just start another one. I did 50 minutes of video yesterday without issues.

Lasts very little. In my 8Gb card I believe I should be able to fit about 74min of HD movie in MP4, but the battery won`t last anywhere near that. I still have to do some further testings, but my guess is that it lasts about 25~35 minutes. Since I haven`t done any tests with the camera only shooting movies, I am not sure about these values, it`s just a rough guess. Anyway, I find that the biggest problem is that it only warns you that the battery is about to end when it is already over, so you don`t get any extra seconds once the battery sign starts blinking (missed some great shots because of that). I carry two batteries with me and I am buying a third one, simply because this camera deserves it (video quality is superb and photo quality is good), I am overall happy with the camera. You just have to adapt yourself to change the batteries more frequently.

The longest clip I've recorded was around 20 minutes. I never received any warning about a time limit. I've always figured that it was based on the battery life and storage space in my SD Card, which it does tell you how much time is left given those two factors.

It's actually very short. Along with a number of other problems, this camcorder has maybe 10-15 minutes worth of space.

you can record between 8-12 hours (depending the light , dark or day light) you think you need more than 8 hours on a 32 GIG SD card ?? I have tested at least 10 different dash cams the ones with more capacity have BAD quality

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

Greetings! I think that if you have a large enough memory card (SD XC) you will be able to shoot for that long. Actually if you set the video quality lower you can likely go much longer than 90 minutes, as the file size would be reduced. Hope this is helpful!
