SimaFrench,

I believe the video time depends on how large of a memory card you have in the camera. Most digital cameras come with a small memory card, but you can always buy a larger one, they are easy to replace.

Another factor to consider is the battery the camera uses. Some will use their own battery pack, others will run off AA batteries. If you spend a lot of time away from electrical outlets, AA batteries are easy to find and use. You can buy rechargable AA batteries for your main use, and carry spare alkalines to swap out if the rechargables lose juice. If you generally are close to an electric outlet and can recharge the camera, those cameras with their own batteries built in are usually smaller in size.

To find out about video record time, look up the camera's specs on the manufacturer's web site, and wade through the info. If you are buying a used camera, you can usually find the manual online in PDF (Adobe) format, and find out the specs there.

Later,

Camper

Most cameras allow you to setup the quality of your video, assuming they have a video mode. So, you could, for example, take 2 hours of video on a 4 gig card @ 320x240 or 1 hour of video on the same card but at 640 x 480. Usually, if you go to the manufacturers website of the camera you're interested in, you'll find the recording amounts in the specs.

For Christmas, I received an Olympus SP 560 UZ. The 1 gig card can give you a little over 30 sec at high resolution and about 30 mins at the lower resolutions, with sound.

Not sure if that helps but I personally love the camera.

18X optical zoom
8 megapixels
