digital camera pic quality
Right, when you set a digital camera to the highest quality setting this also seems to be the biggest image size, are they related? can i set it for a smaller pic and still get the same quality or will it get worse as the pic gets smaller?
I took some pics of my car recently (5mp cannon) on the highest setting and they were huge, far to big to post on a web site or even look at on the computer as you have to scroll across the screen 4 foot to see the whole image, plus when photobuckets resized them it seems a waste of time to me
any tips?

hi mate
yer, on a 5mp camera they WILL be huge. You talk about shrinking large photos, these will be fine (ie u might as well set the camera to 1MP for postin on here etc)
where the 5mp comes in handy, is if you want to take a photo of say a family member, you take it on 5mp and go to boots and u can have it blown up stoopid size without losing quality
whereas if you take a 1mp photo into boots, you wont be able to enlarge it very much at all without it going blocky.
