None of the digital cameras will give the facility to record unlimited length of video. Most of the cameras come with 32 mb which is hardly sufficient to record about 3 minutes of video. For recording video and taking more photos you have to shell out Rs.5000/- for a 1gb card.

you are right

but i was talking about the minimum length of the video clips that the camera will let me record
i have come across some cameras which will record only 3 min clips regardless of memory capacity
i am planning to buy 1 gb card along with camera.

Thanks,
Vishal

if u r going for AA battery powered camera, than make sure u buy rechargable NiMh batt with charger 2300mah, it will cost around 1400/-.
insist on buying canon or nikon cameras.
