Here's another one: the 30-minute recording limit for video recordings. Apparently Panasonic fixed this in their GH4R [0], but it doesn't seem that Canon and Nikon have.
I was looking for a camera to record meetup talks, and I almost bought a new Canon 80d until I realized it couldn't go more than 30 minutes without restarting.

- jemfinch 9y agoThat's a heat-related issue; fixing it would require the ability to dissipate heat much faster (fans, etc.). That's one of the reasons why cinematic digital cameras are so much larger than DSLRs.
- dceddia 9y agoI had read that it was tax-related, something about a higher tax on "video cameras" in Europe, and "30 minutes" was the defined limit. Heat would make some sense too, but it's interesting that Canon and Nikon would both have the same heat issue that magically manifests after 29:59.
