One more question. My normal photos with the 6 Mpixel on high quality JPEG use about 2 Mbytes per photo of memory. What is the file size if I use a high quality JPEG and the 10 Mpixel K10D?
Four or five.
I know this is heretical, but you may want to consider using ** instead of ***. About half the file size for a few percent decrease in detail -- so small you can't tell even if you pixel-peep. Skeptical? Try taking a picture in RAW and converting it to ***, **, and * in-camera. Then, upload them to your computer and view at 100% and try to tell which is which.
When you're taking a picture -- or a photoshoot -- that you know will be particularly special, shoot in RAW+JPEG, then develop into ***.
