Hey Rich, the LOG files don't take any more space, it's more about protecting all of the tonal variations in the image by making it intentionally low contrast and low saturation.
So think of it more as a conservative color palette rather than a file format or CODEC. Whether you shoot LOG or NORMAL the file type and size will be exactly the same.
Now, when you leave DaVinci you will change the file/CODEC type and your resulting file will be much larger, possibly 3 - 6 times larger. This is because h.264/MP4 is highly compressed and not good for editing/mastering, it is generally only used as a delivery format. But camera makers like to provide small files and aren't usually worried about getting the best quality, so use it as an acquisition format.
