This is more of a general computer science knowledge question combined 
with some of your new graphics knowledge about pixels.

The problem tells you that there are 42 bits per pixel and your CCD 
array is 4288 pixels wide and 2848 pixels high.  So the total number of 
bits for a single image would be 42x4288x2848.

If you didn't already know this, 1 byte = 8 bits.  Convert the bits to 
bytes, and then determine how many images will fit on a 16GB card (you 
might have to look up how to convert gigabytes to bytes).

Finally - if you know that the camera can shoot seven frames a second, 
multiply the bits in an image by 7 and you know how many bytes can be 
transferred a second.
