Eric: Actually, the DMR produces a 19.5mb file, the M8 a 10.5mb file. The difference is loss-less compression applied by an ASIC (application specific IC) in the M8. ASIC's are much faster than firmware. Sadly, that also means such compression cannot be retrofitted to the DMR. :-( As for the 22MP, FF, R10... well...
