It is not the Camera that is outputting at 72 dpi that is just the default that you processing software is using - you can probably change the default in Lightroom.
It does not matter what dpi you are using as you can change it at will. A file size with the same pixel dimensions will be exactly the same if it is 72 dpi or 1000 dpi.
Just to clarify things - the DPI does not effect image quality or file size whatsoever. It is only relevant when you come to print.
