Buffer limitations????

[Jason Kinsey]

I've been looking at a Nikon D300s for the capability to shoot video, and I noticed on Nikon's website (http://imaging.nikon.com/products/imaging/lineup/microsite/d300s/en/d-movie/) that the maximum length of a movie in full resolution is only 5 minutes. I assume this is some sort of a buffer limitation? Anyone have any experience here? Thanks.

So I called the folks at B&H after some thought and asked one of the salesmen-and supposedly it is some sort of classification issue for tax purposes. According to him, if the camera can record more than X minutes of video at a certain resolution, it is classified as a camcorder and taxed differently. I assume he knows what he is talking about-it certainly makes sense for the government....:confused:
