Default FAO those with high resolution digital cameras

I've just got a new 8 mega pixel camera.

What size photos should I take?

I was always told to take photos on the biggest size possible but I'm wondering if this advice still stands with higher resolution cameras.

Advice and recommendations please.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I took photos at the weekend using the max resolution, A3 size.

I might need to get myself some more storage though! Extra hard drive here we come!

I thought my battery ran down rather quickly! Now I know why! I've got a 4GB card and a 2GB one but I doubt I'll ever have enough battery power to fill them both up!
