it never pays to over analyze a movie like this
but i'll offer up a counter perspective.
why did the the characters go into
an electronics store and not consider grabbing a couple extra tapes
and batteries?
the electronics store scene came from one characters sole focus to get his
phone
I think Cloverfield does take things beyond the Blair Witch Project
and does a great job of fictional organic Home Video story telling.
The filmmakers have set some ground rules for themselves and they
stick to those ground rules. Everything that happens on that tape
from a storytelling
The battery in the camera is not an issue. My Digital 8 camera circa
1999 has an 8 hour battery. I once took it to New Orleans and shot
nearly 4 hours of footage over a 3 day period without recharging.

I guess that's possible if the camera was in some sort of extended
play (read: lower quality) mode, since tapes are 60 minutes long to
begin with, and 40 minutes if you're recording DVcam instead of miniDV.
My mini-DV records 60 min on standard
They refer to tape in the film, I think, because they use the device
of having taped over previously recorded video. That wouldn't happen
with a disc based camera. That being said, some of it was shot with
the panasonic hvx200 but most was shot with the Sony CineAlta F23
which is not a consumer
