Should we really worry about file sizes when storage is so cheap theses days?
1tb drives from around £73
Sandisk extreme III 4gb card for £12.50 with free postage.
It's just constantly getting cheaper all the time.
With the value for money that the K20 has, and when you think what the average user on here spends on lenses, storage cost really is not a problem!

Storage is getting cheaper per gigabyte all the time, but file sizes and the variety of stuff to store is increasing all the time too.
Space efficiency has always been an important part of computing, and I think it always will be.
A 1 TB drive may be only £73, but you need another one to back it up!
ps. As an example of the increasing demands on storage, the compact camera I recently got takes RAW files (which I prefer) and large video files, so I'll have more data to store than I used to with my JPEG-only compact. This is in addition to K10D RAWs and CD-quality music, etc, etc.
The Adobe DNG converter is really handy and can work as part of the process of copying from SD card to PC. (Set source folder to SD card, save location to a PC folder).

I'll try both ideas, although ebuyer.com may be more successful!
