Re: OT: Back in the Pentaxian fold
About 11mb. They're not THAT large compared some scans, but they are larger than a lot of RAW files from 6mp cameras, and certainly a lot larger than the approximately 1.5mb files of the large JPEG's the camera generates.

But they didn't, and I did... It'll be fun to have a camera in my purse. That's precisely (well not PRECISELY) why I got one. I wanted one I didn't have to unlimber... My Optio S4 fit the bill perfectly. Now, the S5i fits the bill too, but it's in my wife's purse! We're a Pentax S[whatever] family... Even if the image quality isn't great, or at least not up to a DSLR. Hey, the quality IS up to most cameras. Using my S4, I took a couple of hundred images of my front yard re-landscaping, and for the most part they all came out quite well. Certainly good enough for an album. And, some were blown up to 5X7 and are excellent. When folks want to know what took those fine photos, I merely haul out the S4! Talk about amazed faces!
