Does anyone know the length of videos that this camera can shoot? (For example, the Samsung WB350F only lets you shoot for 20 minutes at a time)

Only 20 minutes at a time.Sorry for the late response. Got caught up with school work.

I know how frustrating it is to not get an answer and have your question disappear from here. So, I'll come back later today to give you the answer you're seeking to help you make a decision on whether or not you want to purchase this camera.

I have a 16GB microSD card in the camera and the max allotted time it allows me to shoot videos is 20 minutes. I've noticed that I can shoot 2 to 3 times for 20 minutes videos. I also have a 2GB microSD card that was originally for a cell phone and when I put it in, it allowed me to shoot 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure the bigger the SD card you have you will be able to shoot a lot more.

This camera was a gift to my 12 yr. old grandson and he said it does take short video's--I don't know for how long they record

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

Mine lasts at least an hour of filming. I haven't used it longer at any given time so I can't speak to the exact duration.

15 minute of continously recording before it stops × 8.A total of 2 hrs memory but its HD quality and wide angle is great.The inter changeable lenses are also very good.I don't know if that answered your question Sir.

My camera does not have a 10 min. loop either, not sure that isn't a bit of an error in the product description. Suggest you contact the customer service name in the documentation to see what they say. Would be interested in their comment as I have ordered another unit for my other vehicle. Love the unit and the video it produces. Have mine set at 720 rather than 10180.

Well the longest I have recorded without stopping is 5 minutes, but I'm not sure of the time. Check there main website for specs. I love this camera and its worth buying. Make sure you get an external battery.

I really don't know - I got very little use out of it before it died on me and during that time I never tried running it continuously until it "ran out" - I used it mainly for pictures, not for videos.

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.

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I tried a high speed card (the exact one you recommed) and the video works great (no more dropped frames) even for very long videos. I used this camera to film a science project where students build and crushed balsa wood towers. It took as much as 10 minutes to pile on the weights before the towers broke, so the videos ended up being very long (at 420 fps, 10min of filming results in 140min of finished video). All this to capture about 1 second of slow motion crushing. Worth every penny.

The sound and focus on the video is very good. The sound and video are very clear. My biggest problem with this camera is taking pictures! The shutter speed is so slow. it takes a long time before you can take another picture. I don't know why this camera operate so slow? I've called Tech Support and they recommended that I reset the settings to default and use a fast SD disk. That solutions corrects the problem just a little. Instead of 18-20 second to take a picture it takes about 8-13 seconds.

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.

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.

I have to use continuous mode because several cameras are switched through. With a 32 Gig card (The largest it will handle) about 24 hours. That also depends on what you are recording, all my cameras are outside so there is always changing images. If you were recording in your home for instance where the walls, floor, furniture etc. don't change you'll probably get better time due to the way video compression works.

With a full battery charge, you can film up to three hours (180 minutes) using the battery that comes with the camera. I have recorded well over 2 hours of footage at one time, and still had battery charge left. If you're not going to use the camera for awhile, charge the battery and then take it out of the camera for storage - this will reduce the amount of time you will have to recharge the next time you use it. I've never bought replacement batteries, since I've never needed more than 3 hours of battery life. The last time I looked at them, there were two options - a lower capacity battery (60 minutes, I think) that was about $20, and a 180 minute battery that was about $45-50. I would suggest buying the Samsung brand batteries, as I've heard that other brands do not work with this camera. Supposedly Samsung has something in the firmware that will recognize an off-brand battery and refuse to use it. I have not tested this, so I don't know if it's true.

I shoot on the highest quality settings, with a lot of zooming in and out and switching to preview mode etc and the battery that came with the camera will last about an hour. I bought an extra battery for back. Talking to the camera shop staff, they told me that you can buy bigger batteries, such as 2 hour batteries or 4 hour batteries. They said that the four hour batteries are longer and stick out of the back of the camera a little, no big deal though. Hope this helps. I have the M400 model which is similar to the M41, it just has no internal memory (so is lighter) and stores the film on SD cards instead. Hope this helps.
