(1) Large/Fine: Approx. 4.6MB (4,368 x 2,912) (2) Large/Normal 2.3MB (4,368 x 2,912) (3) Medium/Fine: Approx. 2.7MB (3,168 x 2,112) (4) Medium/Normal: Approx. 1.4MB (3,168 x 2,112) (5) Small/Fine: Approx. 2.0MB (2,496 x 1,664) (6) Small/Normal: Approx. 1.0MB (2,496 x 1,664) (7) RAW: Approx. 12.9MB (4,368 x 2,912).
Those are all of the file sizes for the various modes you can put the 5D on. You can blow-up any of them to any size, it more depends on if you plan to crop and edit, etc. You could probably blow the Small one up to a 20 by 40, and still have a clear non-pixelated image. I would recommend shooting in RAW mode, or at least in Large/Fine mode, because it never hurts to have a larger image, unless of course you run out of room. But it can definitely hurt having too few pixels, especially for editing, cropping, and blowing up, in the long run. So invest in bigger compact flash cards, and probably an external hard drive (both of which are very cheap, probably less than $100), you'll be thankful for it.
