The 'record time' varies greatly and is usually proportional to the price of the camera! Of course, the amount of digital information being recorded also has an affect. Some of the high-end cameras have a virtual motordrive that allows rapid shooting similar to film cameras. They allow another shot to be taken while the first one is still being recorded.
"Even has a hotshoe for using a real flash. "
The built-in flash is the weak link in most digital cameras (and point-and-shoot film cameras for that matter). Most have a maximum flash distance of only 10-12 feet! And they are small lights with little manual override control. If you want to take decent photos in low light, a hot-shoe and quality flash are ESSENTIAL. For comparison, my Nikon Speedlight has a range of 60 feet. Digital cameras with hotshoes are few and far between. -- Curt
