Re: OT: Jpeg Q

Copying does not change the file. Openning it and saving it again does. 
So anytime you try to edit the file you lose data. In other words if you 
are never going to edit (that includes resizing) the file jpegs are 
fine. The only problem with that is if you are not going to edit your 
photos, why bother with high-end digital in the first place?

Am I remembering right that JPEG format files re-compress each time they are
saved?  In other words, saving the image on your CF card as a JPEG and then
transferring to the PC would be two steps of loss?
