This is our first trip to WDW with out kids 6 & 8. This will also be their first plane/flight and first week long vacation.
I have a DSLR that I will bring and a few lenses, but it does not do video. So last week I purchased a Canon HF200 1080i/60 HD Camcorder. This test video is amazing so far, but east through memory pretty quickly.
When I purchased the HF200, I also purchased (2) 16GB SanDisk Class 6 video version SDHC cards. This will give me 250 minutes (or about 3 hours).
I also have enough battery for 3 hours as well (based on typical shooting/NOT max).
How much time do first time Disney people shoot in a day?
We are planing on going to all 4 parks (I am thinking AK will be the most video with a Safari and other attractions, but again it is an unknown) over 6 days.
How long is the AK safari ride?
How long are the parades (on average)?
How long are shows like Nemo and Lion King?
My concern is two fold.
1) is 3 hours a day enough?
(For things like the fireworks, shows, parades, etc; I am going to use my Gorilla Pad and let it shoot on it own, while I watch. I will edit later when we return, but will still be burning through the memory.)
2) I am going to be bringing my laptop as well as an external drive (double redundancy), but am not sure if I will have time each and every night to clear off my DSLR cards as well as (2) 32 GB of video a night either. Plus if I do not have time to archive them. I would prefer to not bring non-archived cards into the park (in case I lose/damage them).
The SanDisk 16GB Class 6 are $50 each, but even as I am writing this I am thinking I might just get 2 more 16GB cards to be safe.
I already did a search on this, but did not return anything like I was looking for.
Thanks
On a side note, my dad took my family to WDW one of the first week it opened in Nov. '72 and I remember he shot around 12 minutes the entire trip and we always wished it had shot more. This was the old "Super 8" days where I believe each film had a max of 3 minutes (plus developing).
