I think I probably know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway and see what you guys have to say. Why is is that you can only record video for
Is it because it records the data to ram and then writes it to the flash? I can't understand why they couldn't buffer it with the ram and write to the flash as you go. Is there some firmware upgrade to allow this? I'd guess probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.. : )

Hi Mike...
Flash isn't nearly fast enough to even think of keeping up, so you're limited to the size of the buffer.
Don't have a Sony; do have a bunch of Olympus's. They do a little more than your Sony does, but not much.
Take care.

It depends on the camera and type of flash memory used. My Panasonic will record video until the flash card is full. Andy Cuffe

Hi,
Yes the flash is quite slow and the buffer too small, my newer Sony will record until the memory stick is full but this function only works with the faster memory stick pro cards - naturally these cost more!!!!
