I just read about the 4gb limitation. Is it in fact 40 minutes using the highest resolution? Unfortunately, I need at least 1 hour.

yes.but if you Shooting at 1280x720 30 fps,48KHz/16 bit,the time is 1 hour.

I was worried about that also. However I have needed up using it differently. I record training conferences and what I ended up doing was recording in much smaller sections, 1) for ease of location of material that I needed and 2) the finished project was little videos on an intranet site. So while I record over 5 days worth of content stretching over 9 hours a day, I never ran into this problem since I found it easier to make the files smaller for ease of use and finding the exact content I needed. I know this does not help exactly, but look at how you will actually do the recording it may become moot as it did for me. Great device though, very handy. I was worried about that also.

That shouldn't be a problem. The SD card that comes with recorder is only 4GB. I just bought a 16GB SD card and use the 16GB card instead. It can record up to 2 hours using the highest resolution.

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)

I did not have that player ? in case, is it not working !, check acceptable memory of that player ? i think that player has maximum acceptance memory size 8GB.

I only owned it for 4 hours as once I found out that it did not support new format cards, I returned it. Good luck!

I currently use a 4gb card with no problem. Though I need to carry a spare battery to get close to it's capacity (except in RAW or extreme resolution images). I have seen nothing to restrict you to 4gb.

I took lots of pictures and video this past summer and only once did I exceed the limit. Just download daily and you probably will be fine.

Is anyone aware how long a video can be recorded on a 2GB SD card vs. a 4GB card? I'm not sure which frame rate video options the SD800 offers but assuming there's a "good" quality rate, how many minutes can I expect to get on each? I'm debating on whether to splurge on the 4GB card.thanks!!

Seems like you are the same person Who had asked about the 4 gb. I suggest you try PNY proffesional. It produces better image and video

I dont know a game that use more than 1 giga of spaced. 8 gb of memory is so much memory atually than this hd is 5 times faster !! No problem for you.

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

I believe you can get up to 1 1/2 hours or so of video on 32 gig card depending on your settings 1080 /960 720, and battery charge I hope that helps FISHGRILLER

I am using a 16 gb card and get about 4 hours of video before it starts recording over again. I would imagine a 32 gb card would give you almost 8 hours. I am recording at 1080 30fps. I haven't tried other resolutions but you should expect a bit longer record time even at higher fps.

I have a 4 gig card in mine which isn't even half full. We took a trip of over 20 hours and didn't hear the same song twice. However, it doesn't handle subfiles well so we tend to just let it play. For the money, it's a good value.

I do a lot of recording that is longer than 30 minutes on my Pan-AG-HMC40P using a 32GB memory card. It also breaks the data according to size of data. Don't know if there is a setting to extend the data size or time of recording.

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

It'll take at least 8gb, but it's damn hard to find an answer anywhere. Micro SD.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$
