I once took it to New Orleans and shot > nearly 4 hours of footage over a 3 day period without recharging. > Besides .. if it was a memory card based camera might not the battery last longer since there is not electric motor needed to move the tape? But, I'm not familiar with card based cameras .. do they have "larger" than normal batteries available .. or even replaceable batteries? Frankly I think we're over thinking this ... it was a good movie and as with many movies it was not an attempt to be scientifically accurate. Remember ...
