Canon A70, A75, S230 can record 3 minutes video at 640 x 480 withhacked firmware
Canon A70, A75, S230 can record 3 minutes video at 640 x 480 after
applying this firmware hack. Without it you are limited to 30 seconds. I just flashed the firmware on my A70 after tweaking the standard factory firmware file per the instructions and it worked like a champ. No dropped frames or filled buffer with a standard 256MB SanDisk. Thanks jplauril. http://nostromo.dynalias.org/canonhacking/ |

What is the reason for limiting video? Someone said it was because some
designs of sensors are not supposed to be exposed to light for too long a period - can this be true? "tomcas" wrote in message ...

Maybe, but I doubt it. 1) These models can already record 3 minutes video from the factory albeit at lower resolution. 2) Only the individual clips are time limited. As soon as the clip is stored, which is only a couple of seconds with a fast card, you can immediately begin recording again. 3) Other models using the same sensor can record from 11 minutes at even higher frame rates to over an hour at lower resolutions at a clip. 4) Taking a picture of say for instance the sun or a intensely bright light would be even much more damaging, yet it does not seem so. 5) Movie cameras and high end web cams can operate continuously, yet utilize the same type sensors. 6) Many of these cameras can function as web cams by design for unlimited durations.

All your points make good sense - I agree it can't be the reason I was
told. So... why can the Canon S1 IS take unlimited (to card max) high quality video, while the Nikon 8080 is limited to one minute? I can see no obvious explanation.
