Is there an answer to the rediculously long upload time? Is there a shortcut that would make this long and painful wait any easie?

Not really. That's mostly if not entirely the fault of your internet provider. Most internet providers brag about their DOWNLOAD speed without mentioning the upload speed. Frequently you can get something ridiculous like 15 Mbps download but only 1 Mbps upload or even worse. Most internet providers are very stingy on upload speeds. So yeah, most everyone suffers when trying to upload large files. It's nothing to do with the camera, really. It will go faster if you reduce the quality or size of the video, but that's not the greatest answer either (the whole point of an HD camera was having videos that didn't suck!)

Thanks for the tip !Amazon has usually been stellar on delivery, but this nonsense does not make me want to order this. Better to wait for the real deal - high speed, instant uploading, raw transferring version if they make it to that round of funding............

Well you would have to format it to the mac format anyways, it takes seconds, drive is a beast!

Just download it with your dialup, yeah it's 51MB and going to take a while, but I used to download hundreds of megabytes back when I had dialup. Here's a tip, let it run over night.

I download my pictures to large capacity auxiliary drive. I then upload from there the pictures I want to share. 16.0 MP is quite large and takes some time to upload.

Greetings! I think that if you have a large enough memory card (SD XC) you will be able to shoot for that long. Actually if you set the video quality lower you can likely go much longer than 90 minutes, as the file size would be reduced. Hope this is helpful!

absolutely not.....you'll enjoy it....first backup took about 45 minutes..all the rest approx. 12-15 minutes

Yes, but it is the worst implementation I have seen.The maximum interval is something like 5 or ten seconds. So I get way more uploads than I need.Even worse, the filename is a fixed format that includes the date and time... all separated by slashes. So my windows FTP server interprets these as folder name separators and creates tons of new folders. I had to write a Task Manager script to rename the file and delete the folder structure each time a picture is uploaded. That one problem aside, this is my favorite camera. Picture quality is excellent (both day and night) and I've had no failures in the year and a half I've had it. I would maybe like to have a little longer lens.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

Hey Mark, well the funny thing is that I sent this thing back. It just wouldn't format. No matter what I did, or cable I used it didn't work. It also had problems with using the firewire cable. I think I got it to recognize the HD ONCE, and then it said it would take almost 17 hours to format it. I honestly think something was wrong with the drive itself, but I didn't want another one to try. I figured I'd wait.

I have my Slingbox connected to my Hopper and have a 30 MB/s download/6 MB/s upload internet speed. I just tested the delay-it's about 4 seconds. It will vary based on your internet speeds. I've tested it over LTE signal snd there's usually no buffering on loading, but I couldn't say how long the delay is-and it really doesn't matter, because you're watching TV on your phone!

The only time I notice any significant delay is when I move large blocks of files. Normal daily file transfer is fine. I stream movies off of it and use it for my iTunes library and it works like a charm.

I can also download, was able to upload one time only. Have to OEM from Yaesu.

Yes, but it will take some time. For about 10 minutes 720p video it takes me about one hour to render.

I believe it's 12 hours, at top quality. More if recording at lower quality.

Try the Flexible recording method- Should get much more than 4 hours and 18 minutes using this method

Just taking a stab here and guessing he meant an uploader to sites like YouTube. I don't have one but it can't be that difficult to upload from a pc if it doesn't have one.
