Approximately how many minutes does a 4gb sd card record using a hd digital camcorder?

I'm planning to go snowboard this year and i don't have a camcorder. So i was viewing many different types of camcorders and I found some that are high definition and they are not very expensive. So i want to know how this deal of sd cards work. I couldn't find any info in the camcorder's technical details about how much video it records. The SD card technical detail does not say anything either. So if anybody that knows a little about this can help me, i will appreciate it. Also if you can give me an advice of what could be a nice hd camcorder that won't go over $500. Or what do you recommend me to buy having in mind that the device will work in low temperature. I'm worried about the quality, but if there is not much difference between a regular digital camcorder's quality of image and a high definition one, also let me know. Thanks!!! And excuse my English!
Answer:

Hi, on a 4Gb SD Card, you can store 60 minutes of data with High Quality, but if u reduce the pixel setting it can go upto 90min also, which is sufficient, also allways carry extra Batteries, and memory card... this will help u, I think u should go for Panasonic hdc-sd1, this is a really good HD Camera.... price is a bit high around 750, but worth putting the money,
