[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 720162, member: 46724"] [USER=47518]@blackstar[/USER] You can always reduce the amount of space taken by a higher resolution image but you can not increase it if you want more detail. When I look at 10 or 20 year old digital images, its comical how grainy they are and how I wish I could make them look better. My first digital camera used a 3 1/2" floppy disk that held 1.44 mb of data back in the late 90's or early 2000's. Storage is cheap. My suggestion would be to shoot at least JPG fine and just invest in more storage. 10-20 years from now, we'll be joking that pictures only took up 20mb of space. I shoot RAW and JPG fine, BTW and my raw images can be 50mb each. In the last year, I have filled up a 1TB hard drive, so next year I've got a 2TB hard drive to use. The externals are nice- I process on my internal hard drive and then back up to external. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
