Actually it's 29min 59secs

Basically it is a limit imposed by Nikon et.al. to get round the import duty imposed on camcorders. The legal definition of a camcorder for tax purposes is a device capable of continuous recording of video for 30mins or more, and is subject to a higher rate of duty than a DSLR.

The limit is obviously a software thing so no doubt it could be hacked if you knew how.
