Hi Kevin, I am using a Sony which can produce 3.3 megapixels, and saved in Jpeg they are around 800k. It can produce smaller 640x480 pixel photo's file size about 63k.
But the file size will be dependent on the amount of information your photgraph holds. You can reduce the file size by reducing the photosize, either in the initial photo, or by software reduction. But the caveat is : The smaller your file size, the smaller your phto and/or the poorer the quality. Photoshop will produce better quality photo files but they will be larger. If you just want to view , use something like JpegView (freeware), or Futurepaint ( Freeware). FuturePaint has quite a lot of nifty extra little features ( like turning photo's upright ) Have Fun Bob Howells Kevin Lock wrote: > > I have a Jenoptik digital camera of 1.3 megapixels.
