[QUOTE="aroy, post: 591083, member: 16090"] In camera jpeg are generated by camera software, and each manufacturer has his own recipe, so do not expect jpegs of te same scene to be identical across cameras. Jpeg files are always lossy, hence they loose quality right at the source, as well as every time you edit and save. As mentioned in previous posts, disk and memory is cheap so why compromise? Even if you have to down sample from 24mp to 4mp, the down sampled image will in generally be better than the image saved at 4mp. If you are concerned about quality, then shoot RAW, and use Nikon View NXi to batch convert to jpeg. In case you want to process a few images further (recover shadows, adjust contrast or exposure) RAW will give much better results. [/QUOTE]
