a megabyte per megapixel is pretty close to what Canon achieves, and just about everyone else comes close. with the *istD, it is over 2 megabytes per megapixel.

The RAW format they imbedded in the *ist D was just poor, each file was twice the size of any other 6MP camera so apart from being demanding on storage media volume wise it also made saving much slower. The *ist DS file size is much improved but still not as good as most.

Between the Pentax RAW converter and this, It sound like Pentax needs to hire a few good software writers.
