Workout with 30 gig video? Any reason I should stick with the nano instead?

It will work, but keep in mind this is a hard drive based player. It has moving parts and exercising while using the player can give it shocks that may reduce the life of the device. The Nano is a flash player that has no moving parts so it's better for working out.

I am not an expert, but if you do video you will need a lot of storage. You might need 1T at least.

I have an 8 GB and it is set to record motion. It picks up movement 20-30 times or more a day and it records for 2 minutes at a time. It takes a long time for it to fill up my 8. And it's very simple to save it to a computer if you need. That's another option.

Charging and updating. As far as I know, there is no video output. There is zero documentation, but lots of online information about operating the Nano and upgrading the software.

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I just looked up the ipod nano vidio and realized that it does everything the classic does, it's just smaller. It even costs less. I also wasn't able to find any complaints on it, which is much more than can be said for the classic. Thanks again, I'm going to get that instead now and probably save myself a lot of disappointment.

Since I take exclusively stills, no video, I rotate through several 2GB and 4GB cards, I can use them individually for practice, hikes, special occassions like weddings or family gatherings, etc. Then there's no confusion with a concert or shots of goldfish. Sorting through a thousand shots isn't something I enjoy. I slip one out for download via a card reader and replace it with a fresh one. I'm only taking around 30-40,000 shots a year, but it's worked so far. I format for every cycle and use the cards in 3 different cameras.It takes 3 batteries to fill a 4GB card with a thousand shots. I don't know what I'd ever use a 32GB card for.Just something to consider.

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

Nano is a waste of money, the 8 Gig is the same price as the 30 Gig. I workout 4 days a week w/ the 30 Gig not 1 problem. Your boyfriend will love it, and not look like a dork carrying a Nano!!

For video recording and high-speed continuous, a 50x will suffice. Personally I recommend going with the Transcend 150x 2 or 4 gig card as they are very inexpensive, rarely produce write errors, and they transfer files more rapidly. One thing you should also consider is the type of batteries that you are using. Although 2200mah batteries will usually work fine, the 2500mah or 2700mah NiCad's tend to provide a little boost in the Digic II's processing speed. This becomes much more important when you get into shooting with the intervolometer or if you are running the excellent, but power hungry, firmware hack that lets you shoot RAW, configure new shooting options, and run settings scripts.

I am very happy with my 2GB Sansa. Just updated the firmware (very smooth application downloaded from Sandisk site).Sleek design, not as cool as Nano, but very close. Ubercool video which Nano doesn't have, which works surprisingly well.Bigger screen than Nano too. Micro SD slot a great plus. And it also works like a storage device, so you can take files with it, something Nano doesn't do.Go for the $129 (at time of writing) 4GB model.

I have both 30 and 45 MB / s, and makes no difference. But I am not happy with the speed filming. HS 1000 must be kidding. At almost 480 umlig to get sharp images, even with a tripod. Maybe I do something wrong? - Must try more, I think.

I use it with Class 10 and personally I use 32GB. But that depends on how wure you want to be about it playing smoothly your videos (class 10 would be a better bet), and how big and number of videos you want to store in the memory (in my case I do not want to run any risk of getting a full memory signal, so 32GB was my safe bet).

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

The brand doesn't matter as long as it is a Class 10, (this means it will have a faster speed for videos, if you plan to take videos). Just make sure you are getting a large enough storage space for you, as well. Hope that helps.

Well its the right format. I wouldn't go with anything smaller then 32 gb for the gopro though. Prices on 32gb are good. Speed of memory might be important too. Check your gopro hardware requirements before you buy.

I'd say - Depends upon how fast and furious you shoot, and how often you download. I use San Disk Extreme II and III, 1g and 2g cards, and download almost every day. You get about 285 full res pics on a 1g card. I suggest getting the fastest cards you can afford as the speed of the card will partially determine how fast the buffer clears, which in turn, effects how many shots you get on a single burst in burst mode. Personally, I use several smaller cards - 1 and 2 gig - rather than a larger card. Avoids the "all your eggs in one basket" syndrome, plus I'd have to work to hard to fill up those 4 gig things in a day. Just me though. You may want larger cards if you shoot video, which I do not.
