I'll be "ghost hunting" soon and have heard and read mixed information about how much video a SD card can hold. I've been told it isn't the same for cameras with video option versus an actual camcorder - formatting or something perhaps?
Anyways, I'm debating two products
1) http://www.ghoststop.com/Full-Spectrum-HD-Camcorder-with-IR-and-UV-p/camcorder-fshdv-red-fullspctrm.htm
That one is 1080p with option for a 16GB SD card
2) http://www.ghoststop.com/Full-Spectrum-Camcorder-with-IR-and-UV-p/camcorder-fsvid-red-fullspctrm.htm
That one is 720p with option for 8GB micro SD card.
Anyways, any idea how long each card would record? I'm hoping to be able to record between 4-6 hours at each location (3 hunts, in 3 nights) Thanks for the help
Answer
they don't specify recording time. they record as .avi files. standard miniDV avi files are 13 GB per hour, so 16 GB would be just over one hour. if these are higher resolution than miniDV, then you would get much less record time. why don't you ask ghost stop, it is their product.
while you are at it, you might ask how long the battery runs. 2 hour battery time is usual for camcorders.

There are very many different types and brands of video recording devices and camcorders you can invest in. Finding one is not that hard and you do not have to spend a whole lot of cash to get one to suit your needs. The higher end video cameras are not cheap. The Infrared and "FLIR" Forward Looking Infrared cameras are upwards of $1,200.00 and unless you can fork out that much it really is not necessary to buy one. There are types and brands that have night vision features and settings you can acquire for around the $300.00 range. Best Buy is a great place to go and test these cameras out. You can have a store clerk assist you and you can also compare between them. Any camera, digital and film , is capable of capturing activity. As long as you are recoding and have it on a setting that is appropriate for the environment you are just as likely to get it with an inexpensive camera than with a higher end one. I've upgraded to a Digital SLR Nikon D 60 (still) but actually have captured more activity on my Kodak easy share. Its more being in the right place at the right time with what ever you have at the time not necessarily the best equipment. Happy hunting.
