20megs is nothing. A 6mp DSLR can make a 36meg file in 16bit mode. The camera uses a form of lossless compression so that file on the card doesn't take up 120 megs its more like 30meg.
And yes for some people this amount of resolution is needed, mostly in the commerical product area where you might need to make a billboard 30feet high and you want to keep some detail.
