I'm trying to better understand the relationship between Image QUALITY and image SIZE in terms of sharpness/quality of my pics.
I went to burn my D600 images on a regular CD disk. I used to be able to get nearly 250 images on a disk at a time with my now gone, D40. Now, with the D600, I can't even get close to getting 250 images on a CD at a time. I looked back at my D40 image sizes and recognized that they were MUCH smaller than my D600's larger image size.
So here I am. A family guy who shoots mostly family shots and travel shots. I shoot for fun and am getting back into photography slowly, especially the digital end of it.
I have my D600 set to "Image Quality BASIC and Image Size SMALL". So my question is, WHAT SHOULD I be setting it to?
Am I short-cutting the D600's powers buy shooting in BASIC and SMALL? I'm not wanting to get 250 images on a disk at a time, but 125 would be nice as a back-up to saving on my external hard drive.
Please explain how size and quality work together/against one another so I can agent the most out of my D600. Which one is more important as far as pic quality is concerned? Quality or size?
Thanks, sorry for such a long-winded question. Any help would be great.
