DSLR file size

[taktik]

I know it's probably been discussed a thousand times but what sort of file sizes do you get from a DSLR? I've seen information varying from 4 to 18MB.
I realise it depends on quality and size but what is the largest file size for instance.
I'm looking to get a D70 and it seems I may have to invest in a new hard-drive before long!!

Thanks.

Someone told me that they get 100 shots to a 1gig microdrive on there camera on highest quality, means files of 10mb ish, couldn't tell you the make however.

My D1X has file sizes up to 17 mb per pic. In JPG fine mode (which is all you'll need for 90% of pics) they are about 2.5 to 3 mb per pic.

The Canon EOS 300D throws out about the same size in fine JPG mode.
