Cameras that can record more than 30 minutes are classified as professional video cameras and have to paid additional taxes.


That is what I've read. I would love if Canon or Nikon could create a setting that allows auto-restarts of video recording once the 30 minutes are up. And the next file automatically has the last X seconds of the previous file so that I can stitch them smoothly in an editor...

I know that Green Lantern can auto-restart video recordings, but I noticed that it can't really do that smoothly without dropping at least a second of video—at least on my T2i.


Regulators tend to get unhappy when you do things that directly circumvent the intent of their regulations. AFAIK, this is primarily an EU thing.
