Not too many. This little camera has been a real disappointment. Would NOT recommend this one!

You can, but you'll need a lot of space. With 32 GB recording at the highest video quality, you can record around 9-10 hours. But I think that the camera will stop recording after around 2.5 hours because that's what happened to mine the one time I actually was recording that long. Otherwise, I usually record around 40-60 minutes, and the camera always stays on during that time.

I runs on a DVR that comes with the system. It can record for about a month before re-using the older data.

I have been recording up to 2 hours per recording on my 500V with out changing the settings. I did not know there was a limit as on my old 550V, I would record all night for up the 9 hours in one file as well.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.

I'm able to get about 25 minutes of 1080p HD video plus 400 photos on one set of 2650mAh rechargeables. For just video, should be 2+ hours easily. More if you turn off your LCD display. You can get beyond the 4GB limit by using the CHDK firmware (google CHDK for more info). CHDK will add a whole lot more functionality than that to your camera.

About 45 minutes (there is no low resolution mode, it's always HD). Yes, the recording time is dependent on the battery.

I get 5hrs of recording on the HD SP setting. The highest quality recording mode on my Handycam would only get 2hrs out of this memory stick. So it does depend on the quality settings you use.

From my experience using 2 of these units over 2-3 yrs. I find if you keep it clean it works quite well. I record about 30 hours. weekly.

you can charge and record I've done it with mine. and as for memory it can hold up to 64gb sd card so i think it can record up to like 6 hours unles you add a second micro sd card . also if you have a computer it will record to the computer instead provided the drivers install and it works like a web cam so it could record all night.

I have mine hooked up to the vcr until i get the DVR. The VCR only records as long as the tape is (6-8-10 hour tape). My neighbor got the DVR that goes well with the cameras and they can record 24/7. You do have to erase it. I think theirs goes to 385 hours and they bought a hard drive extension. I am going to get one asap then i will be able to tell you first hand.

4 gigabytes generally = 1 hour of 720p recording which is the best setting on this camcorder. so depending on the size could vary. But if you get a 32 gb sim then you can get around a good 8 hours. But you can always save after 8 hours to your computer then start all over again. have fun!

Ok. I've never done the camcorder thing except on a 20 yr old Sony HI 8 mm. It finally wore out. I record 16 straight hours. Is that possible on this HF100? Thanks.

According to the documentation, it should record up to 29 minutes or 2 GB. But the only time I tried to record more than 10 minutes was my cousin's wedding, where it froze on me. So whether it's actually capable of recording up to spec, I couldn't say.

Depends on what type of quality you want, i can record up to 8 hours but the quality reduces. optimum time is 2 hours for a high quality recording.
