Wow! just got one.
Great camera but the down size is I can only take 3 photo with my 128M memory stick :D:D

Wouldn't you know that Sony would be the first to break the 50mp/$400 barrier? And to think it's only available at Office Depot!

If you read the fine print on your 128mb memory stick, you'll see a notice that says: "Actual capaity: 1.28 gigabytes when used in 50mp camera purchased at Office Depot."

You're golden.

A pic in RAW taken with a 50 megapixel camera would be HUGE.

Storage in the camera of files that size and manipulation within a computer would be real problems.

I think these are the real limiting factors to the megapixel size of future cameras - at the moment.
