My Canon G2 is a 4 MP camera (2272 x 1704) and produces RAW files in Canon .CRW format ranging from 1.9 MB to 3.3 MB. The compression is lossless. One might expext a 5 MP camera to produce RAW files about 20% larger than that. The amount of compression depends on the "randomness" of the image, the less random the image, the more it can be compressed.
