Are you using a wireless mic on the speaker? If you cant hear him clearly and without room noise, the video is useless. Without a continuous video capture, you are going to have breaks obviously.
Usually you edit a video during editing, not shooting. You could use a digital audio recorder to capture the audio off your wireless mic, but then you would have to sync and timeshift the audio in post.
This is a project for a dedicated video camera. Depending on the clients expectations and the importance of the event, the client may want a video professional for this.
The speaker uses a clipon microphone with a transmitter conneted to a sound system, not at all sure how this will affect the sound quality. Your digital portable audio recorder suggestion could be the answer.
I have no idea whether is will pick up the sound from the speaker or the sound system and whether this could be a problem. Agree, a well equipped pro would be the answer, but the "client" is a friend with only a favor as a budget. It looks increasingly like the XM1 may provided the simplest and probably the only solution, with its stereo microphone simply picking up the sound from the sound system.
Shame though having to forgo the HD quality. Maybe someday Canon will address the 4GB issue, but you gotta remember that it's a still camera with video, not a video camera. They just don't have the motivation to implement file spanning. Also, I believe in the EU, additional taxes are collected on devices being able to capture 30 minutes or more of video.
There are a lot of low-end video cameras with a 29 minute limit. As for time lapse, you might be better off using stills. You should also remember that while there may be tax implications in a few parts of the world, the FAT32 file system used for memory cards is also a barrier to this 4GB limit.
Sure, on could suggest that it simply stop itself and restart however I am not sure how reasonably that could be accomplished and what the end result would be in post would you miss a second or so of the recording?
Since the XM1 is , that is a great option. You have it covered. Just try to get audio capture better than what the onboard mics pickup if you can. For pro sounding audio, a mic or lav mic needs to be within 1 foot of the talent to get good audio, or you get the room tone, echo, room noise and hollow sound characteristic of poor audio. Use the 7D as a roving cam and try some various shots.
If they dont work out or cut in well with the XM1 in post, you have lost nothing. SO annoying that Canon doesn't let us film longer, I would use this a lot. Sometimes I'm filming sunsets and it's extremely annoying that it stops for a few seconds. It would be very cool if they could address this in a firmware, but I doubt they will.
Also, be aware that the sensor may overheat after prolonged use of video. If the heat warning icon starts to flash you will need to turn the camera off, or it will shut down automatically until it cools. I agree that a cheap camcorder would be less risky if the event you're shooting is important. Audience shots don't have to be shot at the exact same time,, generic shots captured before and after the event can be cut in later.
Also quickly reposition the 7D during the talk to get audience cutaways and then back to the talking head, this and other audience shots can cover the camera repositions.
Other old SD cameras could also be used for brief cutaways and the IQ difference from the HD up rez wouldn't be noticed and could be a 2nd look or theme. This can be done with the 5D2 but a record marker needs to be cropped out in post. Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series.

Hi just wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to increase the continuous recording time of the canon 7D?
It only records 12 mins of HD footage at a time. Hi Scott — Sadly, there is no way to increase the 12 minute limit on the 7D. Bill Hybrid Camera Revolution. Thanks for taking the time to reply Bill. I will have to check out the panasonic cameras you mention. Just out of interest, how do they compare in quality to the canon cameras? Glad I could help, Scott. On the other hand, Canon APS-C cameras have large sensors and generally better low light performance and shallower depth of field.
I can fix low light with faster lenses and shallow out my depth of field with ND filters, wider apertures and longer focal length.
