SD card and time? For something like a 16 gig sd card, how long of a video can I take????

QVC says you get 20 minutes recording time for each gig. 4 gigs equals 80 minutes.

SD cards. If you want to take videos they recommend class 6 or higher speed. It will handle 2 - 64 Gig cards. I have a 32in mine. 32 gig gives you about 4900 pictures at high res, or 2hrs,47 min of video.

A 32-GB SD card should be able to record more than 2 hours of footage. Please note that the transfer speed needs to be 30 MBps (Ultra 1 Class 10). It will provide better recording results.

It depends on how many GB your micro SD card has which doesn't come with this. It supports up to 32GB, I got a 2GB I was able to record 10 minutes in medium quality video, which will be 320 minutes/5 hrs and 20 minutes if recording in medium quality.

I have a 16gb sd card in mine. A movie that is 1hr and 35 min is about 460mg and there are 1024 mb in a gb. It really would depend on how long your movies are how much room they would take up. Books, games, photos and music don't really take up that much space it is the movies.I also I read on other blogs that you can use a up to a 32 gb SDHC card in the device so you may research this option so you can set up the device as you see fit.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

Well, yes. It only gives you like 2 minutes of recording time without. If you buy a 16gb SD card, you get more than 2 hours of recording time.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)

depends on the memory card. 8gb gets you about 20 mins. Video quality is not great but good for the money. Bought the no-name version of this camera at Big Lots for $10. Use it as dash camera in my car, does ok for that.

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!!

Purely self promotional. Video demands that the SD card be capable of FAST recording data rates. Get a Class 6 SD card (class 4 as a minimum) and you will be very happy. I would recommend 16GBs as a minimum capacity. To the best of my knowledge Memory sticks are only available in the base class 2 speed, hence they really cannot be better than SD cards for video.

It depends on the size of the card you put in it. I put a 16gb microSD in it and I'll never run out of recording time. This model has the lower quality camera so a 1 minute video is about 30MB. If you upgrade to the 2MP camera model, it will be about 150MB for a 1 minute video but the video quality is worth it.

Two hours at a time, just like with any other digital camera. Upload and start over. There is no external memory card and so you cannot increase the storage. I just use it for pictures since the audio is so bad.

I get about 6 hours of video before it starts overwriting the oldest files. I use a Samsung MicroSDHC 32GB Class 6 and it works very well.

That's a tough question to answer. I depends on the size of the SD card you're using, and what else is on it. The most I've taken is 15 min on a 16gb card with room to spare, but I'm sure you can get much more on an empty 32gb card

I have a high speed hd card. But if you dont mind lower quality videos you can use any sd card. Mine was under 20 I believe and holds a ridiculous amount of pictures.
