Depends on the camera and the codec. Typically 29 min is common but that is due to tax/policy issues with the EU. The reality is that I've found very few situations where I need a camera to run longer than that. If you want to put a camera on a tripod and let it record a 2 hour event, then going traditional video makes sense. But if a person is operating the camera, then the time limitations becomes a non-issue as you just shoot, stop, start again.
