Thanks for posting a current link!

You're right, ouch! I can't imagine dealing with files of that size. It will be interesting to see how the camera sells.

Yeah, but Smugmug gives you unlimited storage.

* Limited to 50MB per file. 120MB sensor RAW files would be like 1000 gazillion terabytes each pic (or somewhat less

) and decent printable JPEG's might be in the 100MB range, so right now that wouldn't work.
