It is limited to something like 29 minutes so I don\'t think it will be a direct replacement for a dedicated Video camera. Seems like if one used it often, it might result in extra heat build up on the sensor but what do I know. Anyone have any ideas on this or its impact.
There is no 29 min video limit. That\'s all you can get per 4GB card.
For example if you have a 16BF card , you can shoot up to 2hrs.
On that link above for example, they shot nearly 12 hrs of footage.
Also, it\'s rare that you ever shoot more than 10 minutes of video non-stop (except maybe for amateurs).
That\'s incorrect. You have a 4GB per clip limit (This is the max file size on a FAT32 partition, which all large flash cards use). You can fill a 16GB card with 4 clips, but you still max out at 4GB per clip.
It also certainly doesn\'t stomp Red on anything other than price. Red is much higher resolution than 1080p at MUCH higher bitrates, no length limitation, etc.
But it is cool, and the limitation is irrelevant for the intended use (PJ\'s doing short video for the web as well as wedding shooters adding value).
