[APML] Scanner Output Resolution



I have a question for the group concerning the Output Resolution for scans.  I have a Canon 5000F flatbed scanner.  I know this is not a great scanner for prints and slides but it's all I have.  There is no control of scanning resolution, only output.  If I scan in 16bit mode(48bitRBG), and go for a 2400 dpi "output" resolution on a 35mm slide, it wants to produce a file of 540Mb.  A 1200dpi "output" scan is around 230Mb.  This seems high to me.  What size file should I be aiming for with a 16bit scan since I only have control of the "output" resolution?  Any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
Gary
