Hmm. That's rather more than most people will do. $75 buys, what, 2GB of flash memory nowadays? That's something like 100GB (10,000 raw images) of storage per year. An extra 100GB of hard drive storage costs around two orders of magnitude less than that $3750 figure. For offline backup that's roughly the capacity of 25 DVDs, which is even cheaper. Flash memory is about the most expensive way you can think of to buy storage today, and I don't see that changing.
