I've been searching for this information everywhere. The Pentax technical specs don't even mention the file format although they have a table with three columns -- 'Best', 'Better' and 'Good' for each of the six image sizes. One has to assume these 'qualities' refer to the degree of compression of JPG files. Yes?

If there was the possibility to save as RAW or TIFF it would be very useful. This is the table by the way:

Capacity with 9.3MB built in memory

                    Best Better Good
2560 x 1960    2       5       7
2304 x 1728    3       6       9
2048 x 1536    4       8     12
1600 x 1200    7     13     18
1024 x 768    17     31     41
640 x 480      37     58     78

No mention of cards besides the note "Uses SD cards."

The photos from my S5i at highest resolution (5 M pixels) and highest

Yes, about equal to one roll of slide film. A bigger card is better. I am pretty sure there is a web site out there somewhere that goes through all this. It is how I originally figured out to go with at least a 512MB card.
