Re: Camera Help
VGA would be 640 by 480. Some cameras store images as 24-bit bitmaps which means you can calculate file size from the resolution using H res * V res * 3. The three is because each pixel takes up 3 bytes, one each of red blue and green. A byte is 8 bits so 3*8 = 24bit.
I think modern cameras store jpgs which are compressed so this formula won't work. Your camera probably takes pictures at 1600x1200 and then compresses the images moer or less depending on your settings. More compression = more detail lost. Normally for fine detail you would take the largest resolution and lowest compression (largest file size) and then crop and resize on your computer. VGA normally means 640*480 so if you can't resize later choose that setting.
