I normally shoot in RAW and that produces even bigger images, what I meant was it only takes seconds from shooting the image to clicking the send button, it may well take longer to actually send the data over the internet. Even on my 30D I can attach the canon wi-fi adaptor and have it instantly transmit new images to a laptop (for example) as soon as it is taken so seconds from there to the send button is not unrealistic. I think you will find that for the most part crops ARE discouraged and even disqualified by some media outlets, they work on the principal that if you don't want something in the shot you should recompose. An editor may crop an image to make it fit a certain number of column-inches but the photographer almost never should. -- Jay -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
