Re: How big is 6 Mp

[Peter Spiro]

It varies a lot depending on the compression you use. I have a Minolta Dimage 7, which is 5 MP, and pictures can range all the way from 12 megabytes uncompressed to 1.5 megs at medium jpeg compression. You lose a little bit of texture with the smaller files, but the difference in appearance is quite subtle, so even the smaller files give quite reasonable results. The smaller files are not only cheaper to store, but the camera can save them faster.
