>I also discovered that I couldn't use my Canon SLR to record more than 30 minutes of video continuously.

My (now ancient) Canon 5D mk2 is limited to ~28 minutes of video due to file system limitations.

Is the limitation the same regardless of quality, format, frame rate, etc? That would make me suspicious.

No, 4GB equates to around 28mins of encoded video with their bitrate settings.
