will this camera use external memory? does it shut off after 29 minutes when using external memory?

Yes it can use external memory cards. I have four 16GB Memory Stick cards that I use for recording. No the camera does not shut off after 29 minutes. The 16 GB cards store about 2 hours of video. The NP-FV50 battery really limits recording time. I have 2 NP-FV70 batteries that enable me to record for over 2 hours each. It's a great camera that gives you a tremendous number of shooting options.

I know for certain that this camera can use SD cards as external memory. I do not know if it shuts off after 29 minutes, but I'll test it out and get back to you.

The camera comes with both options automatically. In the camera bios you tell it to use the internal memory or the micro sd card ("external"). But you can not (to my knowledge) change from internal to external after the recording. I recommend just go with external and leave it in the camera until that moment you wish you had external. Then you will be glad you did. This is an excellent camera. I have only had mine for sixty days and used it twice for local law enforcement's use. Once for an extreme hazardous driver where the authorities used the video as evidence to revoke his license. The other for a traffic collision where the officer thought another party was at fault until he saw the full HD video. The camera has image stabilization so the videos are smooth. Not sure why the reality television shows are not using them. Much cheaper and in my opinion better video quality than GoPro.

32GB will record between 36 to 40 hours.I don't believe you can turn off the camera on or off on your phone app. There is also the limitation that you cannot review recorded video on the app. I could not make that option work for me. Other that that, these cameras are pretty good. When you set it up make sure you do not set the sensitivity on high on the alerts, since any motion will set it up. I have it set to low.

Hi Robert,With a 32GB card you should have no probem with memory size, unless you set the camera for a picturte every 5 seconds. Regarding batteries I believe 2 weeks is close to the limit. Again it will depend on the settings. I think this is a cost effective camera (I have 3), because it costs way less than some of the alternatives and does the job.

It has been awhile since I have used my camcorder but I think it has an internal memory. I only recorded about 10 minutes of content andthen I would upload that to my computer and delete what I recorded. I am not sure how much internal memory it has though.

Camera has limited internal memory. Memory card is probably very useful. Charger in stand alone andremove battery from camera and place in charger,

No internal memory. It requires always an SD card...at 32gb it will last about 6 hours before looping.

The camera has an internal memory of 25 MB. Will not take many pictures without adding additional memory.

If there's a limitation on recording time with this camcorder, I think it would only be limited by the amount of time that can be recorded on the SD card. I let mine run for an hour and a half recently and the only reason it stopped was because I turned it off.

When the camera is connected to a computer, it is recognized on both sides as an external storage device.When the camera is hooked to a (3rd party?) USB charger it is probably doing auto-shut down, etc and no longer recieving a charge-that would be my guess. I think it is possible to turn off the auto shut down/power save feature, it's worth a try

With the stick that I am using I only have about 120 pictures. I think the number will depend on the device that you use in the frame. I don't think it has an internal memory. For me, I just use sticks and change them when I want to.

I'm not quite sure-however if you're recording at full hd, you will use more memory. At the lowest setting, I think you can get about 7 hours. At the highest, maybe just a couple of hours. (I sent this as a gift to my dad so I haven't used it-but he loves it and I haven't heard anything negative)

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

It does have some internal memory. The manual does not state how much. I would recommend using a couple of cards. I use 8g and have never had them full. Keep one clean and formatted and when you go to check the cam, swap them out. You will minimize your time at the cam and you can check them on your computer where you can edit and save them if you want to. With the internal memory, you will have to bring the camera to the computer and connect it manually with a usb cable. Hope this helps. Don't forget to bring spare batteries with you when you go to check it. Battery life is quite good, but they don't last forever. It does have some internal memory. The manual does not state how much.

I have an 8GB micro SD card (SanDisk). It is good for 120 minutes. Every time one turns the camera on and off, it creates a new file.

The camera does have some memory-- but I bought a card. You can purchase a cable that can be used to download pics--I just put the SD card in my computer to transfer pics. Would like to get a cable at some point in time......
