Didier,
I was expecting a RAW file size closer to 30 MB as I don't expect Leica to
have the latest algorythums to compress RAW files.  So if I can get close to
100MB into a buffer that would make me very happy.  So a I gig card becomes
the new 36 exposure roll of film, well I guess we will just have to bulk
load memory to save money.  :)
