Nikon D90

5 minutes would be about the longest single take in a Hollywood film in the last century..
this is NOT a limitation in any real sense of the word. No one shoots five minute takes unless they are grandpa with the vid cam...

But home videos go for hours...

And no one watches them... ever.

From IMDB.com re: Hitchcock's "Rope"

-The film was shot in ten takes, ranging from four-and-a-half to just over ten minutes (the maximum amount of film that a camera magazine or projector reel could hold) duration. At the end of the takes, the film alternates between having the camera zoom into a dark object, totally blacking out the lens/screen, and making a conventional cut. However, the second edit, ostensibly one of the conventional ones, was clearly staged and shot to block the camera, but the all-black frames were left out of the final print. Most of the props, and even some of the apartment set's walls, were on casters and the crew had to wheel them out of the way and back into position as the camera moved around the set.

Passing it along. Posted your good point (after your silly assertion) on LL. Seems like a file size issue.

Like someone posted on your link:
"But you can shoot lower quality for a 20 minute clip? That sounds more like a file size issue"

So, the EU will restrict you to 5 minutes video for tax reasons, to which Nikon will comply, but then allow you to record 20 minutes?
Riiiiight. Someone is making up a whole lotta BS.

Yes Adam - that was my post that you quote.
