In fact a full frame scan of 35mm in 16-bit color is going to be on the neighborhood of 120MB/image. But where are you getting a full-frame image of 50MB? The RAW file for the camera is going to match the pixel-count or roughly 17 MB/image. They'll expland a lot after you process them in your RAW converter and move them into 16-bit space for real work. I think it's not as bad as your back-of-the-envelop computations suggest.
