Filesize in RAW is 14.6MB

Jaysus! If the price doesn't kill you, getting enough memory will! By my
calculations you would only get 69 shots on a 1GB card.

I like the fact that it is full frame, but for all intents and purposes,
do we really need more than 12 mega-pixels??? I get stressed working with
35Mb NEF to TIFF files on my computer. I'd hate to know what the RAW
conversion to TIFF on this thing will come in at. About 100Mb's per file?
6 or 7 images on one CD?

My lab has started charging extra for having to convert TIFF files to JPEG
so that they can print them on the Frontier.

16MP sounds like a lot of work!
