Uncompressed raw files on the Nikon D800 can be up to 75 Mbytes. I'm not sure why anyone would select that option. The lossless compression option results in a file that's usually around 40 Mbytes.
I convert these to DNG on import to Lightroom and the files are most often close to 35 Mbytes. As much chatter as you hear about handling "those huge files" I haven't found it to be a horrible problem. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Sat, Feb 2, 2013 at 10:30 PM, Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> wrote: > Poor Nikonians.
