How long would it take over 1200 baud modem? Who cares?
It's a page about a camera app it probably needs to have images. And it creates animations so it's useful to include samples of that, right? I like to moan about website sizes as well but here it's sort of justified.

See http://www.bing.com as a counter example. They load in a beautiful animated background, far larger and higher resolution than any image on the Pix site. Total page size? 364KB. Yes, it's over 100 times smaller.
You can still have images and animations without it using absurd amounts of data. This is just sloppy optimization, especially for a mobile app where data usage is most important.
