With the included SD card, how long can you record for on one full battery charge before you run out of memory or battery?

Not sure. But what I do is run it till one bar of life is left on the indicator and take a break while it charges or plug it in for a charge while I use it. But to be clear I would say at the very max maybe 30-40 min

At reasonable sound quality, the included 2GB card will last about 2 hours before the card is maxed out.

Yes, the item can record and store the recording with SD card. This item is powered by 2 2A dry batteries, generally, recording time is 1-3 hours according to batteries. Hope my answer helps you.

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

This camera will easily record up to it's limit of 30 minutes for a single clip on a full battery. This is an arbitrary limit for digital cameras to avoid being taxed extra as a video recording device.

Ive only recorded about 10 minutes straight. I would assume you can record as long as you want if you have the space on the SD card.

Hi, yes it work like that, you need to choose recording time, 3 or 5 min. and it makes files 5 minutes and saves, until card is full, starts delete old files adding new, like 16GB it will be plenty for you, it take up to 32GB. My camera working so far no problems. If camera loses charge you will need to reset the time and date, but still will recorded and make files.Let me know if this is helpful.

I can record for almost 2 hours per battery. Good life batteries and it also charges pretty quickie. So much better price than the manufacturer's batteries.

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

The 32gb card will last about 5-6 hours before it gets overwritten. The loop setting of 1/3/5 mins decides the size of the recorded file. Thanks.

1:52 on a full charge but it automatically goes into battery-saving mode when not recording or if LCD screen is closed and not turned off. Mine has lasted for a whole day touring Europe but I carry a back-up just in case.

In my experience, the battery lasts only about 5 hours... so if you need to record 8 hours, buy 2 of them and swap them out after 4 to 5 hours. Note it should automatically create a new WAV file about every 2 hours. It also won't record while it's plugged into a USB port, so you can't charge it and record at the same time. :(

If you are recording only motion. It will depend on the environment you put it in on how long till the SD card fills up. The places I have used it, 8GB didn't even fill up before I'd swap batteries. But if you put it somewhere where there is constant motion you will get completely different results.

I have a 32GB memory card and empty it allows for just under 2 hours of HD video at the highest quality. That being said, I'd imagine I could record an hour or more on a single charge as I have recorded over 30 mins and the battery level did not move from full. Actually, even after taking a couple of hundred pictures in one day, I still have not seen the battery less than full. This was the same with my old G9...excellent battery life. It might be possible to fill the whole 32GB card on one charge, but I cannot verify that.

A new battery fully charged should record at least 2 hours continously. However if you let it set in camera for some period of time it will affect the recording time. I have two batteries of which I fully charge both when I plan a recording session. This enables you to have peace of mind in that when the first battery is discharged you have a backup to use while recharging the first battery. I know this is a little expensive but, being prepared to capture the moment makes it worth while.

Yes, the unit accepts SD card up to 32 GB. The battery that comes with the package is mall. Fully charged battery can continuously record for up to 90 minutes. The total recording time reduces if you start and stop frequently. Frequent zoom action also reduces the recording time. There are two extended batteries available for this model. It is highly recommended to get an extended battery.
