[Leica] New Panasonic/Leica

Paul,
If you shoot it in RAW you will end up with a 15MB file once it is
converted.  With good practice or good software it should be pretty easy to
essentially triple the file size.

You might email Tina as she has been doing a lot of uprezzing files for her
stock work.
