30 Minute Limit

[elbow770]

I am looking for a digital camera that will let me video record for more than thirty minutes. I understand that Panasonics (at least some of them) purchased in North America will let me do this. I have gotten multiple and conflicting answers to some of my questions, so I am hoping that people with experience can help clear up my confusion.

1. GX7- I understand that I can record continuously (beyond 30) minutes for AVCHD, but not in MP4. Is this the case?

2. GH2 - Will the GH2 let me record continuously for *all* formats: i.e. AVCHD and M-Jpeg in the native firmware? Or will I need to use a hack? If so, how complicated would this be to do/use?

3. GH3-I understand this will let me record continuously in all formats? Is this accurate?

Thanks in advance

Not only will the North American version GH3 record in all formats up to 1080 P60

I can shoot "unatended" for over 90 minutes with the internal battery and still show a charge.

The AF-F is so good that subject can be moving (slowly) without blurring.

This is in low light with my 12-35 lens.

I have a GX7 which I purchased from Hong Kong and it doesn't have recording limit tough I did try that only for AVCHD.
