Well, if they're tiff files you can compress them. Quite a lot. Why would you need to send tiff files over the internet anyway?!

The D3 produces Tiff files of about 35mb whilst, the D3x produces Tiffs of about 70mb. The figure you quote above refers to Hasselblad's H3D-39 which could produce 128mb files in CMYK format for laser printers or four spot colour printing.

As to sending over the internet mostly, that is done as Jpegs which you convert them to after processing and adding a colour profile, which most printers will send you upon request.
