Francis, it actually comes out to 6 to 6.3 MByte in case of the D60 (130 to 140 images per 1GB MD). This might be due to the way the imaging chip works. (Each pixel only has one R, G or B component, and the remaining channels have to be created "artificially" [Bayes filter, I think]). Also, since the RAW files differ in size, I think there is a strong possibility that CRW might be (LZW or run-length?) compressed. Lars -- .~.
