The manufacturers decided for us that flash memory is "best*, but I agree with your perspective on the expense - especially for long-term storage.
We take a lot of road trips and have endless hours of road scenery, stops etc. . .tapes (1 hr.play). We end up with 10-20 tapes from our 2-4 week trips. They seem cheap compared to what it is going to take nowdays. I (think) I we want to tape in HD, but it seems the price of memory is going to be steep. . . We have been looking at a few $500-$600 models (Samsung, Pan SD 90, Can M400) What to do? It seems there are quite a few very qualified experts on this forum to help some old timers trying to modernize! Are we going to have to search -ebay for mini-DVD tapes?
Thanks in advance!
