It says 7 hrs HD video on both 64 Gb and 32 Gb. Is this a typo or is there something I am not aware of ? Can someone explain?

In my Canon 70D Manual, it says you can shoot about 1 hour of video (IPB compression) in 16GB at FULL (1080) HD. Therefore, 64GB gives you about 4 hours. Using the more "edit friendly" ALL-I compression gives just 22 minutes. Shooting in 1280 doesn't change these estimates appreciably. I made a 30 sec test video in IPB and it was 120MB. That is about 1GB/4 Min. Or 4 hours on a 64GB card (2 on 32GB, 1 on 16GB) - just like the manual says.

They consider both 720p and 1080p HD. Also you can record at 30 or 60 frames per second. I believe they are saying on the 32 Gb you can do 7 hrs of 720p 30fps and on the 64 Gb 7hrs of 720p 60fps.

Since PNY doesn't specify the assumed bitrate, the 7hrs figure is rather useless. By the way, the latest version of this 64GB card that Amazon now ships out says "14.5 hours of HD Video". But again, the actual time will depend on the bitrate that your device is using. If you divide the card's capacity by 14.5 hours, you get an average bitrate of about 9 megabits per second. If your device records at higher bitrate than this, then you'll obviously have less recording time on this card.

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.

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

I get about two hours of video. I am using a 64gig SD. I could get more video but the two hour mark is the max run time on a full charge!

It's MPEG2 encoded, up to 5 gb (yes, you read right) an hour for 1080i content. Obviously, lower res (720p, 480p/i will require less).

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

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.

Excellent review. My questions are: 1. After you made your 17 Gb movie did you burn it into iDVD? If so, how did you fit that size movie into a 4.7 GB DVD?ThanksSony DCR-SR100 novice mac user (G5 imac)

Please disregard my previous "lazy answer". I checked my camera again and here what it displays in the upper right corner:In all high speed modes from 1000 to 120 fps --- around 13 min.Standard mode 640x480, 30 fps --- 2 hours and 13 min.HD mode 1920x1080, 30 fps --- 36 min.The displayed numbers did not change even if I put different size SD cards in.Only the number of still photos changes.I guess the file size the camera can handle is limited, after all.

I think Ocean Dweller is confusing Mbps and MB/sec. The 17 Mbps is mega bits per second. There are 8 bits in a byte. That is really 2.125 MB/sec.You can do the math--how much video (in seconds) does an 8 GB card hold? ~64 minutes? 8000 MB / 3840 seconds = ~2.1 MB/sec.Anything 32x or Class 4 and above will be fine. Amazon says, "1920 x 1080 movie recording requires a Class 4 or higher memory card."Also, I hate Panasonic SD cards, because I have two (of two) that died. Most companies have a 5-year or lifetime warranty, but not Panasonic. They have a 15 day warranty. Total crap. Go for something else, anything else.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

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!

Markus Twain, There is no attempt to mislead customers. The 1GB reference in the lower section is a typo, which will be corrected, nothing more. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Apparently they have upgraded to what they call "near HD"... 1280x540. I would like to know if anyone has actually seen this on a decent size 1080p screen, and how it looks. Also, can it pass 5.1 sound?

Dan,Am planning on buying this Panasonic HDC-SD9 camera. Looks like you have ordered it. Did they include 32 gig card as mentioned in the ad? If they did, then its a great buy!-Sandeep.

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

I never test my 32gb card. For 24 hours, it should be enough. I have a go pro to make high quality video.
