Well, of course it is not a horrible problem. After all, extra RAM, some
extra juice to the CPU and few extra TB of storage will make this little
issue hardly noticeable...
In fact, I wasn't being serious at all when I wrote my original comment
to this thread...
Presently I am just fine with 12 MP files of my Ricoh GXR which are
probably uncompressed as they all have exactly the same size (up to 1 kb
give or take) of 18 MB.

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.

Poor Nikonians. Their flagship has twice as many pixels and then some :-).

Each RAW file is now larger than the first harddrive I ever owned.
Nothing to be done for that, is there? I'm shooting DNG which I believe I
heard is already stored in a semi-compressed state.
