Congrats on your camera!
Yes, 800 versus 800E is splitting hairs for sure. The differences are very fine and you can get a similar level of sharpness using deconvolution sharpening and a small amount of colour contrast/enhance.
I just found on ebay you can get a Seagate 2 terrabyte external memory unit for $129! or a 3TB one for $189. Wow.
That'll handle the file size issue.
I also read on the net you can dial in different sizes in tiff or jpeg so the camera does 36.3mp, 20mp or 9mp in order to reduce file sizes.
TIFF is not that much of a drop from RAW so that could work too if someone were concerned about file sizes (usually its pros that don't like this as big files = more time and time=money for them).
I also like the new Olympus OMD and the Fuji XPro 1. If I were going travelling I think one of those would be great.
Greg.
