200 million pixels * 3 (RGB) bytes per pixel = 600MB per photo. Hope they're getting a good compression ratio or coming out with TB sized hard drives.

- Aachen 4y agoMy current phone does 8 million pixels in about 2.0 MB at the default settings (raw pixel data is 8×3=24MB, compressing down losslessly to 15 MB). I remember back in the good old days, my mom's digital camera also produced jpegs of about 2.5 megabytes. Ten bucks on that one of these 200Mpx photos won't exceed 4 MB with Samsung's default settings. Fwiw there have been significant improvements in image quality despite the file size not increasing, so 2MB was probably overkill in the past. 4MB might simply be a suitable size. It won't be anywhere near 600.
