I'm planning on getting into photography and both Nikon D3300/D3200 seem like good options. My question is not really about photography, for how long can you record video, everywhere I see 20min but after those 20 minutes when again will I be able to record? After 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours? Are there any owners of D3300 or D3200 here who can give me an answer? I know that some Canons might be better for video, but I'll be using video for one specific event, for like 2 days and after that photography only. Thank you for any help :)

You can start recording again immediately after the video file has been stored to the SD card. But I think that happens on-the-fly while you are recording anyway.

Thanks for a quick answer! I thought it works that way too, just wanted to make sure, because it's going to be my 1st DSLR
