Does the hotshoe mount hold standard accessories? and how many hours would a 32GB card record on full HD?

No, it does not. It is some proprietary standard...very thin opening, that does not support standard accessories. No clue why they made it this way. Have no clue on a 32GB card (use type 10) but it does record 1080 on the card. It's basically a math function. Usually transfer to a computer for editing but have never ran out of space... and then it's just sticking another card in.

Its max card size is 8 gigs. Not sure if that's enough space to record 24 hours, as I'm not sure how to adjust the resolution.

No, when the card is full it stops recording. A "Memory is full" message appears on the screen. I also bought a 32g card.

The manual for mine states a 32 GB card is its design. The way mine is setup (32GB) I get about 19hrs. of real good video.

It mounts to the hotshoe but isn't required. It plugs in to the camera with an included cable

I bought a Kingston 32 GB card (http://amzn.to/1PmTjCD) and it works great. At 1080p (highest quality on the cam) in my tests, I found each minute of video eats up roughly 100 MB of storage. So a 32 GB card should hold about 5 hours of footage before it starts to reclaim space.

The 32gb card will last about 5-6 hours before it gets overwritten. The loop setting of 1/3/5 mins decides the size of the recorded file. Thanks.

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.

How many hours of video the card can hold. This is all dependent on the resolution you are shooting. For 32 GB, HD High is 4 hrs, HD Standard is 8 hrs, and HD Extended is 12 hrs.

Hi Rodney, we do have 32gb preloaded HD+ cards (and it is version 4.2.2). Enter this ASIN in the Amazon search bar to retrieve the listing: B00AT73OUM

Format to a standard FAT32. But if you can read the card with your computer its not a format problem. If you are saying that the device is not recording, then check the on/off switch. However this device is a piece of crap. The battery only keeps a charge for 24 hrs. whether it records anything or not.

The lack of a card slot *is* a big issue if you are going to use this during an extended trip. I recently traveled overseas and collected a week's worth of video files. I filled up a 16GB flash stick and then another 4GB one as well. I simply didn't have that much free hard drive space on my laptop, so the limitation of 2 hours on a video device without being able to change memory is a non-starter for me.

No. The latest version of handycam hot shoe is smaller than previous DV units. I ended up bypassing the hot shoe with a Heavy Duty Photography L Bracket with 2 Standard Flash Hot Shoe Mount attached at the tripod mount

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!

32GB Amazon SD card has worked flawlessly for me so far. Also recommend getting the Opteka NP-FV70 (if still available, I haven't checked) aftermarket battery. The 32GB card should give you 3+ hours of HD recording on the highest resolution. The battery at a full charge will give you 3+ hours of juice to do it. You should be very happy with the combination.
