the *istD produces RAW files about 13-14 megabytes in size and the D70
closer to 9. the *istD uses a very inefficient storage format and then
compounds the problem by storing two additional JPEG images inside the RAW
file in addition to the mandatory thumbnail. Canon cameras manage almost 1
megabyte per megapixel with their lossless compression.

competitors?)
But something else strikes me as rather interesting: is the difference in
RAW file size between *istD and D70 really that big? Why would that be so,
considering both cameras store basically the same amount of image
information? Or don't they?
