Tell me then, why doesn't a 12 megapixel camera produce JPEGs as large as 36MB? Your "basic math" would tell me my a700 should produce 36MB images, but not even my raws consume that much space. Instead, they are typically between 6.5 and 11 MB on the lowest compression setting. Have you ever seen a JPEG size larger in MB than in Megapixels? I haven't. Then, of course theres the fact that JPEG is a 'compressed' file format, and can vary depending on the captured data.
I guess I'm just too brainless to understand your basic math, so self-titled smart guy, please explain this to me...
Godwell - what do you mean just under 70MB when opened? Certainly the jpegs couldn't be that big, and whats the point of stating a pre-compression file size?
