i know you can create a movie of max 30sec (less with higher res)
but can you record multiple 30sec movies?
its kind of dumb limiting the movie to 30secs instead of the movie
being limited by storage space :/
anyways thanks for input

I think the limitations are a result of the camera's internal
buffer size. The raw data coming off of the CCD needs to be stored
somewhere while it waits to be compressed and written to the CF
card. After 30 seconds (in the higher mode) this buffer becomes
full and no new data can be collected until the buffer is flushed
to the card and the process is started over.
. . . I think.

While I agree with a previous writer that the quality of the video
isn't as good as what you get from a camcorder, I did have some fun
with it on a recent trip to Hawaii. I used my S40 in the Canon
waterproof case and got some underwater video of fish and turtles.
Couldn't do that with my camcorder because I don't have a
waterproof case for it. The S40 is also small enough to carry in my
pocket, but my camcorder isn't.
Also note that you can take all the clips and edit them and put
them together in one longer video using a video editing program
like Videowave.

Hi. You can record any amout of clips as long as you have space
for it. In my opinion i don't think it really matters because the
quality is not really good and anyway its a great picture camera
and intead of putting useless featuers into it canon should make
the features that they have work better and more efficient. Faster
and more precise focus and less noise when shotting at a higher ISO.

I've captured countless precious moments of my family on the S30
that otherwise would have gone uncaptured. It's a priceless feature.
I do wish that it can directly stream to CF card instead of
internal buffer, though.

so is that true for s30/s40??
