36mp camera - what about processing times ??

I think you'll be OK, Mongo, as you have a Mac and they seem to be quicker with comparable processors than with Microsoft computers.

It depends on the RAW processors that you use. My Capture One Pro 6 chews up processor speed and RAM, so I ended up getting a new computer to accommodate Capture One, not because of the impending camera.

I am now using an Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz) 4 core processor, 120Gb SSD, 8Gb RAM and 3 x 2Tb of memory in a Raid Array.

What is interesting on this aspect of computer use is that on all of the performance remarks from various users of CaptureNX2 when Nikon finally updated it to 64bit, was that there is a general feeling that Windows based CaptureNX2 use is quite a bit faster than it appears to be on a Mac system(in general). There were exceptions here and there, but most replies to most of the performance based threads that I've come across on the various sites(Flickr, DPR and NG) all seem to indicate CNX2 works faster on Windows than it does on Mac.
