According to www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-Flash-Memory-TS8GSDHC6E/dp/B0 your 8GB SD Card can store 9100, 6824, 4096, 3276, 2560, 2096, or 1632 images, dependent on the image resolution (from 2 to 10 mega-pixels respectively). This will also depend on the camera type and the images stored on the card. This information is approximate, so keep in mind that depending on the camera type you may have more or less recording storage space.

  • You may find you have 83 to 180 minutes of recording time.
This link www.kingston.com/flash/sdhc.asp?id=5 is for a Kingston SD Card. Since the question does not specify a particular brand, know that the recording times may vary based on the different brands.

According to the information on the link, for the Kingston 8GB card, you can store up to 180 minutes. It depends on the type of camera, the file capacity (if you have anything else on the card, this will obviously be less) and the resolution you are recording at. For example if you record at 6mbps you will have more recording time than if you were to record at 13mbps. This is because recording with greater resolution results in a larger file size, this is the unfortunate pay off involved when recording in better quality.

  • Check recording settings
As mentioned, the card and the camera also determine the amount you can record. You will need to double check with your camera manual to determine what recording options will optimize the recording time associated with your brand of SD card. 8GB should be able to record a substantial amount of video. Take care with your recording settings and you should be able to get up to around 180 minutes.

You should get around 170 Minutes of recording time on 8GB in SD mode on the high end. If your camera has a VBR (variable bit rate) you can get as little as 100 minutes. Here's a handy chart for 8GB cards. Keep in mind it can be slightly different, depending on the type of camera you have and the codec used to store video. This is the general idea for the popular Handycam series. Listed as HIgh End then (Low End) in minutes. In HD - 115 (100) | in SD - 170 (100) | in LP -  325 (215). Hope that helped.

It depends on the quality you select for recording. If a really high quality is selected you will manage to record for 1 to 2 hours.

It depends on the recording settings, for example in high quality recording time would be less, in low quality it would be vice versa. In normal settings, I need to know the format your camera records videos to. Plz tell me that and I can tell you how much video it can (or might) hold. Or there's an easier way, most digital cameras display the recording time available. Just format your memory card and insert it in your camera. Then change recording mode to video, and your camera should display how much recording time is left (Or how much you can record). Hope I helped. If I can I'll upload a pic to show you, just tell me your camera model number and brand.
