A man who can afford all that, surely has better things to do with his
time, than worry about flash card form factors. ;)
Don't you realize that flash is a "perishable" commodity? Whatever you pay
for flash now, it will probably be nearly worthless by the time your camera
is in serious need of upgrading or replacement. At that point, you will
almost certainly want newer, better, and larger flash memory anyway. So, if
you plan to upgrade your flash with your camera, what does it really matter
if its a different form factor? Taken to the extreme, would you really want
to keep shooting on ancient 16 MB flash cards for the rest of your life? :)
