can this take video for at least 90 minutes without interruption? other sony camcorders can only take 20 min at a time.

It all depends on the quality of the video. There is a 2 gb size limit. Then it switches to another file.

Hi Salem, apparently this Sony Camcorder doesn't support or have time lapse feature. -Ely

I have recorded video in excess of 45 minutes... all depends on your memory card and its limitations. I use a 32 gig card with this camera.

Yes, it takes great video. Very user friendly. Just be aware that it automatically turns off every 30 minutes. Not knowing that screwed me up big time the first time I used it for video.

Yes you ABSOLUTELY can!!!! You just press the OK button to pause and resume recording. You press the Video Camera icon button to STOP recording completely. Hope this helps.

It's actually very short. Along with a number of other problems, this camcorder has maybe 10-15 minutes worth of space.

Depends on the quality of video you are shooting. I used it to film an entire football game, but was also starting and stopping a lot, so if pressing the battery use constantly maybe an 1 1/2 to 2 hours on full 1080.

I have never used the camcorder to it's full capacity but it will take up to a 32 GB memory card to record on to so my guess is 14-16 hours at High definition.Hope that helps,Terry

From the manual, the battery will last for 40 minutes of continuous video under typical conditions and 1 hour 10 minutes max before the camera stops automatically. But, reading further, you'll see something interesting. The manual states that, "Recording will automatically stop when the clip file size reaches 4GB, or when the recording time reaches approximately 29 min 50 sec in 1920 or 1280 mode and approximately 1 hour when shooting in 640 or 320 mode. So, unless you're recording a long, low quality video (doubtful if you're looking at a $350 camera) you'll have slightly less than a 30 min limit. I see no way to override this. There are two reasons for it. 1) There are different tariffs imposed by the WTO for video cameras with HD recording times over 30 minutes, and 2) Some sensors cannot tolerate continuous current for long periods without overheating.

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.

I've had mine about two years and love it. I just tried reading the date on a quarter and it was "yes". Yes it does take video. Never tried to see how much it will take, but would probably depend on the internal memory or the batteries. My 20 something grandson can do wonders with the camera. Great camera for the money. Only thing that annoys; the lens cap won't stay on.

Not to be stupid, but will this camera pause? I mean can you pause while recording and then start again without it being a new movie? Thanks

If you choose to record in manual mode, it can record for more than 70 min. ( Tested ). But if you choose to record in motion detect it only records "clips" of 5 or 10 seconds !! ( or snapshoots). In my opinion is very bad those options!!

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.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Although I love this camcorder, I have found nothing that would suggest that it can do time lapse. I have not had it very long, but I have not read or seen anything that would suggest it does have that capability.

NO time lapse and it can record up to 29 minutes per clip, but 29 is NOT the total limit for taking videos. Once you're done with the first 29 minutes, you can just start another one. I did 50 minutes of video yesterday without issues.
