The Sony R1's 10.1Mpixel RAW format file is uncompressed, just like the D model PEF, and is 20.1Mbytes in size. They don't store a JPEG in the file like Pentax does, they store a sidecar JPEG file at the same time, size depends on the JPEG settings in use and varies from about 800K to 4.5Mbytes.

Unless Pentax moves to a losslessly compressed PEF data format (or DNG), I would assume it will be about the same as the two Sony files combined, with the Sony set to a medium-low resolution JPEG.

Based on the size of the PEFs from the istD and the DS, anyone care to
venture an educated guess as to the size of the PEF's generated by the
10mpx sensor?
