Is there a limit to how long a video can be? (Other than based on the SD card)

You can download the manual online - there is a chart, depending on image quality setting and memory card size you can potentially record long videos. For example on my T4i with a 32 GB card and maximum quality (nothing else on card), 88 minutes of video.

29 minutes per clip. The reason is that there is a European Union rule that a device which can record 30 minutes or longer continuous video is considered a video recorder and a special tariff of up to 12% is assessed.

Don't forget to consider the battery when shooting an extended length video.

In continuous mode I get about 43.5 hours on a 32GB SD card. The card will overwrite old files as needed.

You can, but you'll need a lot of space. With 32 GB recording at the highest video quality, you can record around 9-10 hours. But I think that the camera will stop recording after around 2.5 hours because that's what happened to mine the one time I actually was recording that long. Otherwise, I usually record around 40-60 minutes, and the camera always stays on during that time.

I never noticed a limit. It just let me record and didn't impose anything like a time limit.

It depends on the size of the SD card you put in. I use an 8 gig SD card and the highest quality video setting i.e 1080p and I have recorded over 2 hours but never checked for the maximum.

It's dependent on the capacity of the microSD memory card . A 16 GB card will last in excess of 45 minutes ( that's the longest recording I've made so far). Somewhere in the literature I read that a 4 GB card will record 2 hours, but I can't verify that claim.

There are two different low settings.. One is 320x240 regular mode and that will last about 40 hours. The other is the super long record mode. That will work for aproximatly 30 days on a 32 GB card. -Nick at onlineenterprises888

Hi. You can record as much and as long as you want depending on the size of your SD Card. There is a 30 minute limit to any one recording however, then you can begin recording again.

Depends on the size of the video. However, most one hour long videos go from 700 megabyte to even more than 1000 megabytes. With that being said, you might be able to watch a 'short' (which has smaller file sizes), but the short answer is, no. You won't be able to watch most of the videos.

Aloha Manny! I have successfully used a 128GB SD Card with about 16 hours of video.

I don't think you can if you are looping. Get a 64 SD card. I can go for 2 weeks before it starts over. If you want to loop but capture incidents find out how long your SD card will go and swap it out just before you fill it up.

Apple says that it can hold 7,000 songs or up to 40 hours of continuous video. But I think it all depends on the apps you download as well

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.

I use 16gb's of various brands. They have capacity for more than four hours of video, which is far more than I have ever needed as I check it every week or so.

That would depend on the size of the memory card, and the resolution your filming at, not the camera itself. But I've taken a 15 minute long video at the cameras highest resolution setting on a 8gig chip plus had room for pictures.

YouTube limit has more to do with length of video, which is currently 10 minutes max. In terms of file size I believe you can go up to 1Gb, which is MORE than enough to fill 10 minutes at an acceptable quality level. I wouldn't worry about video quality too much, though. YouTube will convert your vid to about 300kbs no matter what. They might have a high-def YouTube coming out soon.

In my testing, 2 minutes of video used 41MB, so a 4GB card would hold ~200 minutes of video.
