Hi Michael and List, I'm not sure if this will help you or not. The photograph portion of the software I use (PhotoStudio 2000) for my meteorite website gave me the option of scanning photographs anywhere from a 75dpi resolution to 2400dpi resolution. I initially scanned the photos at about 600dpi. Little did I realize until I tried opening the website that it took many minutes for all of the pics to display. Needless to say at 600dpi, the images took up a tremendous amount of real estate. I re-scanned all of the pics again at 75dpi, and there was really no discernible difference in picture quality. The pics loaded up at least 6-7 times as fast, the website was much quicker to display...all was right with the world.
Now, I don't a thing about digital cameras but I would surmise that if the cameras allowed the operator to determine the dpi / resolution, a lower resolution might work as long as it does not affect the image quality. Anyone else with a thought on this? My two dpi worth... ;-) Steven L.
