My back of the envelope calculations, so I may be off by an order of
magnitude, is that in memory a 41mp image, will take up 230MB plus,
before you start manipulating it, (a 16mp image takes up about 90MB, I
didn't work out 24mp, I don't have that camera).
I've got a fairly recent computer,
Sony seems to have worked out that not everyone sees higher resolution
as the end-all-and-be-all; they offer full-frame cameras in 12MP, 24MP
and 36MP flavors. Personally, I'd prefer the 24 megapixel size as my
sweet spot. I think we're going to get the 36MP one, though, despite
the rumors.

Another thing to consider regarding the pixel-count race is that Pentax
doesn't manufacture their own sensors.
Does Sony offer other manufacturers a full-frame sensor with a lesser
pixel-count than the sensor slated to be used by Pentax?
