Thats right, the size of the file is not directly coresponding to the size of the sensor, rather the amount of info stored in the file itself. A 14.6 mgpixl sensor does not mean the files will be 14.6 meg, the sensor measurement is resolution, the file size is the information needed to map the image created. I find the darker the photo, the bigger the file. My old istD* would give me 17meg files from a 6mgpixl sensor, the K-7 often delivers 15-18meg files, depending on the shot. I think we all wondered about this when first diving into digital side.
