Maybe it's Nikon's configuration, but my RAW images on my D200 are
around 15Mb. The RAWs from the 6mp D70 are between 5 and 7, but that's
been futzed with so I have no idea there.

Kostas Papakotas hi all!
this I noticed soem time ago in my Pentax K10D.....
took a scene in 10MB and 6MB.....pxel count was
10Mp - Raw - 12359 KB
06Mp - Raw - 11479 KB
10Mp - JPG - 3069 KB
06Mp - JPG - 1707 KB
My 40d JPGs range from 2 MB to over 6MB
It's RAW files are about 7.8 MB.
The camera is also a 10 megapixel camera.
Your RAW files seem rather large, but if it's consistant it's normal, hey what
can you do, that's the size they are :-)
I'm shooting mostly in JPG now because it is easier for me to control the image
with this camera when shooting. And of course most of this shooting is stuff I
can take my time and take as many shots as I want - scenics etc. Plus, I'm
getting lazy and processing RAW files isn't my idea of fun just for snapshots.
I've actually started shooting to the size I want, instead of always shooting as
large as possible and downsizing in Photoshop. Sure I have to change the camera
setting but I don't need to open Photoshop or do anything to the image.
I must say that I'm loving the 40d very much. I've even ordered an EFs17-85 IS
lens for it. Love the low noise, the autofocus, and the speed. I haven't been
'birding' with it yet but hope to soon.
