It's a very narrow niche when 283 images would be too few, but 384 would be enough ... If you're going to burden the camera processor with bit- twiddling code, far better would be to implement compressed TIFF; this could easily yield far better than a 30% increase, and would work for those 18MB TIFFs as well as the 13MB PEFs. It would also still work with 14-bit or 16-bit pixel depths, which are already showing up in high-end sensors - I have to believe that Pentax will get there eventually.
