canon a620 video

[nisswavic]

I will be using my camera for the first time (outside of the pool) later this week. I have been trying to figure out how much time I have using video. I am using a 2G x150 SD card. I have just left the camera running and got 60 min video at 15fps/320 and about 17min at 30fps/640. Does this sound right? When I shot in the pool I was turing the camera off and on and shot 17 minutes at 30fps/640 and had not received any notice that the card was full. I am trying to understand as much about my camera as I can before I am down deep so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

That's about right niss, with my A610 in 640x480/30fps mode I get about 2 minutes & 8 seconds with my 256MB card.

By the way, have a look at this thread think you'll find it useful, it speaks specifically to Canon Powershot A series camera like ours .

I get roughly 9 minutes of video @ 640x480 30fps according to the display on my 1GB card.

Never taken more than about 10 seconds so cant verify it though.
