[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 720203, member: 47518"] Hi TThrottle, Thanks for your insight. Understand the lighting advance of hightech stuff (you know cloud is replacing both internal and external storage now...). Storage is no worry on me, but handling and running image (size) is an issue: up to now, my old computer is still running most tasks in well acceptive time. Not any more that when I need to open a 15+ mb jpg file in an image viewing or editing program, it takes a noticeable longer (waiting) time... I have read up the article Texas referred to and mostly taken author's investigation and argument (with his photo proof) for the sake of image quality view on different image file types and sizes -- no or little difference. But still, I understand RAW files are the necessity for post processing, etc. Well, as you said, 10-20 yrs from now, we will be joking about current file size, yet when I bring up and see my family's old-time (30 yrs ago) pictures, surprisingly I am delighted to find all those grainy and fuzzy images in those low-resolution pictures fondly memorable... Will I feel the same way after 20 yrs from now? Imagine it. [/QUOTE]
