What is the max. length of time you can record a video for? Also, any difference in quality of lowlight videos compared to quality of lowlight photos?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I never tried to film in low light and my low light photos were not particularly impressive. As an aside, I want to let you know that I don't think this camera is worth your money, that is if you want a durable, working camera. After only one year of light usage of this camera, while on a trip to the Grand Canyon, the camera inexplicably began to produce super overexposed photos. After that happened, I fiddled around with the camera and adjusted it according to the instruction manual, but I couldn't fix the issue. Eventually, I came back to the Amazon and searched for the product's negative reviews and sure enough, others had similar issues that made this camera not usable after a few months to a year. According to those reviewers, when they reached out to Fuji to inquire about getting replacement parts or their cameras fixed, Fuji was either completely not helpful or offered very costly help. You may want to check out those negative reviews for yourself.

The max length will depend on the size of your SD Card. The bigger the card the longer the video time. Low light photos are excellent. I have not shot any low light video so I can not say.

How long a video you can record depends on the size of the memory card you are using, and the resolution and frame rate you choose. On a 32 GB card at the highest resolution (HD: 1280 x 720) you will get 1 hr. 59 min. 43 sec. of recording. On the same card at lower resolution (640 x 480) you can expect to get 5 hr. 59 min. 10 sec. recorded before your card is full. An 8 GB card will get you ¼ of that.This camera has many options for recording including Super Slow Motion Movie mode. You can't go wrong with a Canon.I got (and always get) my camera information from Steve's DIGICAMS: http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/canon/powershot-elph-110-hs/specifications-188.html How long a video you can record depends on the size of the memory card you are using, and the resolution and frame rate you choose.

All the info I see in the instruction manual says 30 minutes of video. I just got my camera and have not shot video yet, but it seems that there are different settings for video quality but the only time mentioned is 'up to 30 minutes.

So what does that mean regarding shooting video with this camera, ie., How long of a video can be shot with a 8GB under continuous operation, 16GB, etc?

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.

You can download the manual online - there is a chart, depending on image quality setting and memory card size you can potentially record long videos. For example on my T4i with a 32 GB card and maximum quality (nothing else on card), 88 minutes of video.

Yes, it is about 4 feet long. Even though you didn't ask this, I wouldn't" recommend this camera. It doesn't" record unless it is connected to a computer that is turned on. It does not have infared light, you have to purchase one separately if you want you want to record or view in low light situations. On the upsde, they are functional speakers. I do worry that someone could hack in pretty easily, call me paranoid, but there you have it...

Page 4 of the manual States: Camera records video when an animal is detected by the motion sensor. During daylight hours the camera will record 5, 15, or 30 seconds in length. During night the camera will record a video with a maximum length of 10 seconds. The video length is co figurable in SETTINGS.

low light recording is good as long as you do not zoom. The bigger the aperture of the lens the better quality of the picture

There are multiple variables that you have to take into account. Are you using 16 cameras or less. Obviously with fewer cameras there is less video being recored. Next are you recording in the highest video clarity... 960 vs. 480. What size hdd do you have installed and do you also use an external? Finally I am not sure if you can only record 16 hours and then just record motion only for the other 8 or not. Unfortunately your question can't be answered easily with out more information. I would look at worse case when you do it though to figure out if its going to last long enough for you.

ya that sounds about right I use mine a lot and only last about 2 hr or 2 1/2 hr...

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

I'm not sure about the record time, I would assume that would depend on your battery life and storage space. I haven't had an issue recording anything for the length of time that I have done it(never more than say 10 mins). The camera works great. I used it alot underwater and couldn't have been happier with it's performance.

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.

Cape Codder, Wong Chun or anyone else-I just ordered a 120 min. Flip Ultra and I am very excited! This will be my first camcorder, and I am really looking forward to using this.I do have a question for either one of you or anyone else. I did read a comment where this product isn't really meant for concerts. I am going to a Sonic Youth concert next month and do plan on using this there. Is it at least an alright camcorder to use at a concert ? I plan on at least recording a few songs, and Yes it may be dark, but regardless if it is good for concerts or not, I am happy I ordered this.
