[QUOTE="AC016, post: 461949, member: 9619"] I thought you "pros" would know this?? Anyhow, your expectation of a full frame camera to have bigger files then a DX camera, is the wrong way to think. As has been pointed out, your D7100 has a 24mp sensor; therefore, will logically yield bigger files. 16mp is 16mp, no matter how far apart you spread them. When you do the math, you are getting the full resolution of your camera (4928 x 3280 = 16.16). If you look at other FF cameras in Nikons line up, like the D750 or D800, both of those cameras will produce bigger files because they have more megapixels. You are not going to get bigger files JUST because you have a FF camera. My X-Pro1 yields the same size files as you stated in your post. It's 16mp. My X10 yields smaller files because it is 12mp. I don't think you have anything to worry about to be honest. [url]http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D4_EN.pdf[/url] Page 444 in your manual. Look at it. JPEG Fine from 3mb to 7.9mb.
