6.4k for the 1D4 camera is peanuts...
but buying memory cards at $200++ each and everytime, 5 cards alone is easily $1k.. 10 cards is already $2k+...
and buying 1DX would require me to replace the 10 cards, and CF is much ex, so it would cost me almost $3k.
In total, $2k (SD card loss) + $3k (CF card purchase) = wasted $5k for nothing! top up another $1.4k i can buy another 1D4!
you can actually sell them off to reduce loss...
if i really want to buy the 1DX,the cards won't affect my decision..
