The camcorder is locked down and shoots wide, unmanned. I do exactly this for corporate events at my employer. I was hoping to use a two-camera set-up, using the 70D camera as the "B Camera" for close-ups, etc. are there any other reliable workarounds for this damning 30 minute recording limit for Canon's 70D? How do you all handle the 30 minute limit? (I just checked on its progress last night.) In the interest of wanting to protect my new and happy Canon 70D, I am very hesitant to use the Magic Lantern firmware. However, the Magic Lantern is currently in "Alpha 2" stage of development for Canon's 70D, with the programmer still working out the bugs.
I've been eyeing the Magic Lantern which, if I understand correctly, can by-pass this 30 minute limit. But, again, I was hoping to use the 70D as part of that two-camera set-up. Again, my dedicated videocamera can meet this task. Often, these educational in-services last longer than 30 minutes. Also, I video record educational in-services for the hospital where I work. Obviously this 30 minute recording limit will not enable me to do this. With the simple way of how I do things, I was going to allow the 70D to run continuously for each act. Although I own a dedicated videocamera that can video record these projects, I was hoping to use a two-camera set-up, using the 70D camera as the "B Camera" for close-ups, etc. But, about once or twice a year I video record (original) plays/musicals with acts that last towards 60 minutes. I do not ordinarily video record segments lasting longer than 30 minutes at a time. Although it is not a "game changer", I sorely wish I knew of this limit before I purchased the 70D last month.
I only recently learned of the 30 minute video recording limit imposed on the DSLR cameras like Canon's 70D.
