Flip recorder vs Small Digital recorder

[tinksgilrs251520]

So here is the question:

" I am interested in purchasing the flip video recorder but i hear you dont get very much time in the built in memory.. I have a small hand held recorder that uses a tape to record on and i love the camera does a great job but just looking for something small to use at Disney but if what i am reading about the amount of space it has is it worth to buy or use the one i have ..

You can swap out SD cards as well as batteries if needed. Plus waterproof to like 3 ft I think.

I have a Flip for fun. Although, I love it to catch a moment with the kids, it's not really good for a trip. It has almost no zoom and only 120 minutes of recording time. It is small and easy to pack.
