>    I am struggling with this issue also.  I have pre-ordered the 36MP Nikon but am re-considering the need.  Generally speaking it is a straight line function of 3 to translate the MP number to PSD size.  So 36 goes to 108Mb 8 bit and 216Mb 16 bit.

I haven't examined all of the specs of this camera, but perhaps it's possible to capture in smaller RAW modes and using the full RAW size when needed.
