The 30 Minute Video Capture Limit May Come to an End for Digicams and HD dSLRs

The problem is that any camera that can record for longer than 29 minutes and 59 seconds is officially classified as a video camera by the WTO. This classification means that the cameras would be subject to a 5% duty fee, which would in turn raise prices.
There are high hopes that video cameras will soon be added to the Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which would mean the fee would not apply. If this happens, you can say goodbye to that half-hour limitation.
