Not sure if I am allowed to ask the following question here or not as it's not clear from the FAQ

I want to record a non stop 24 hour video and wanted to know if the following device can do that?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/838579-REG/Samsung_HMX_F80BN_XAA_HMX_F80_Flash_Memory_Camcorder.html

This device has a SDXC so I should be able to get more than 24 hours non stop using a 128Gb card right? So is there a limitation on SDXC cards? Maybe 4.2Gb per file/video?

Assuming that the camcorder allows recording while plugged into the mains?

According to the specs, the camera can only handle a 64Gb card which is < 15 hrs of record time at SDXC. – Friend Of George♦ Nov 5 '12 at 18:42

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

I don't have experience with that particular Samsung camcorder, but I did do some long term recording on an older Samsung camcorder. My camcorder had a time lapse mode that allowed it to capture a frame every minute or so. It would record while plugged in to A/C power. Although the camera used the FAT32 filesystem with 2GB file limits, it was able to span the recording across multiple files. As far as I could tell, the process was seamless.
