30 F P M? Typo I hope! "This powerful little camcorder easily records both full 640x480 resolution video at 30 frames-per-minute" Also, does anyone know if this will take 4GB non-EPSD SD cards?

Yeah hey need to fix that haha. Though 30fpm would still be an improvement of my old aiptek. I was wondering the same thing about quality until I found this grea review on a blog. It's shows the quality in and out of water. http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2007/07/10/testing-testing-sanyo-xacti-waterproof-e1-review/ Just got one last night;) hope this helps.

The res is excellent, more like 720p! Best cams money can buy, trully great! Good luck, night vision is amazingly clear. &#128077;&#128077;

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'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob

I'm sure you got it figured out by now, but to anyone else, I use a CLASS 10 SDHC 8GB card with no problems. Key is that it is CLASS 10. And the video length can be changed in settings.

I am using a 64GB SD card ( actually it's a micro-SD with an SD adaptor) and I can say its just the best. Take it on a long trip, go crazy on the pitcures without a care, bring it home and download them to your PC. Even at max resolution of 20MBPS, I am yet to use up anything close to 50% even taking videos.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

2.1MP for shared(dual) mode...while recording video. 4MP when capturing stills only

Really not sure, I have a 32GB card in mine, I never tried a 64GB. In case it matters, with my 32GB card installed and the camera set on motion detection I can record from 7 am till 5 pm and uses 3.11GB. Here is some info from my first time using it, I had 69, 5 min recordings at aprox 43,000KB on avg. So the total of 69 five min files was 3.11GB. I would estimate .54GB per hour. So a 32 GB card should hold approx 59.25 hours of video and audio. Hope this helps

according to the UK website (ww.panasonic.co.uk) below, this sd600 camcorder is 50p "1080/50p recording (Full-HD, 1920 x 1080, 50 progressive recording) conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording to produce the ultimate beauty in image quality, exceeding even conventional Full-HD images. It minimises afterimages and moir patterns caused by subject motion and renders crisp, detailed images. 64GB SDXC Card can record approximately 27 hours and 30 minutes of 1920 x 1080i high-definition video in HE mode and approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes of 1920 x 1080p full high-definition video in 1080/50p mode"

Funny. I just emailed Sanyo and asked them the best card for this camcorder and they said a Class 2 or 4!!!!They said not to use a 6 or a 10. Whatta buncha yo-yos. These guys are supposed to be the experts but they have no hands-on experience.

@ Ronnie Dale Frost: What do I think? I've already pre-ordered one! Yes, $5,200 is a bit steep, but I will sell my current D3 body (mint condition, should fetch $3,200 - $3,700) and use those proceeds to offset the purchase price. I want and need the extra 1-2 stops this new extended ISO range will provide. Regarding the 720P-only video, while the omission of 1080P seems both inexplicable and ridiculously short-sighted (given what is readily available elsewhere, and for far less money), it's not a dealbreaker for me--and that comment is all the more interesting when you factor in that I am an independent filmmaker. Nope, for filmmaking, I want a REAL video camera/camcorder, designed for filmmaking from top to bottom. The Canon 5D Mark II, for example--and despite that whole very impressive Laforet short--is NOT a camera I would even consider using for indie filmmaking.

I don't remember exactly, last time when we used it in a long travel, I had my laptop with me to and moved periodically all videos to hard drive. Few hours, may be, but I recorded in low 640x480 res.

I find it amazing that you are able to use a 32GB much less a 64GB. I'm using a Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter (SDC4/16GBET) that was sold a a bundle and have no problems with the card. The dash cam is ummmm. Hmmmm. You get what you pay for. Don't upgrade the card. Upgrade the camera and card or it won't be worth your money. Put the videos on your PC and format the card FAT32 after.

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.

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.
