So, all the D800 discussion is killing me... Anyone think I should wait for a D800e? How large is the Photoshop full size PSD file from the 36mp sensor? Oh, Lord, what to do? What to do? New camera might mean new storage drive, new mac, new everything  ...Your helplessly addicted servant, Tom

What Mac are you running now Tom? I have a Quad i7 Mac mini, that's pretty fast. I just set a Quad i5 iMac up for a friend and that is pretty quick. I would have thought a second Firewire HD like a G Tech 2 or 4Gb drive would be fine. My Mac Mini handles 100Mb images with no issues in Adobe Photoshop Cs5. I even opened 1,800 NEF's from my D200 all at once. It did take about 28 Minutes to save them all to JPEG but I felt that was reasonable for THAT many images. http://www.g-technology.com/products/products.cfm

They were captured in tethered mode, pages of a book which I converted to PDF. I tried doing it with JPEGS but ran into problems, so used NEF. I wanted the adjustments to be uniform across the whole of the PDF so, having opened 800 previously on another project I thought I would try 1800. I was amazed it had no apparent effect on the speed of operation it was just like working on one image. I opened them in ACR made the global adjustments then went through and adjusted the crops and the occasional bright highlight where a page wasn't quite flat and had created a hotspot. The only lag was when I saved to JPEG, that did seem a bit slow. I then imported all the JPEGS to Acrobat and made a PDF.

Robert- It won't kill my macs - I have a 3 year old iMac with 16gb ram and a 3 year old MacBook Pro with 8gb and (here is a problem) a 256gb SSD which is always nearly full. I can't imagine opening 200 NEFs on any computer Tom

Tom My D800E NEFs are between 40 and 45 MB. In CS6 a 42.3 MB NEF just converted to a 108.4 MB psd file. I use NEF as my archival form. Ed

Tom in answer to your question. A D800 NEF is approximately 46.3MB in size. When opening in CS6 the file size for the Photoshop Doc (why dont they call it a file?) is claimed to be 103.4MB I hate to think what might happen other than complete bogging down if you opened 1800 D800 images at once. Scratch disk would probably melt down (200GB instantly taken) then of course some new Layers and its bye-bye to 1TB.

I thought that I had a lot of stuff on mine Including my documents and mail which take up 12GB, iView catalog 2GB, LR catalog 1GB, plus some customer images that I still need to show them 5GB. So I could gain back 20Gb at a snap.
