Higher resolutions
produce more detailed images and larger file sizes—
great for photo-quality prints but take up more space on the Picture Card and
may take longer to transmit by e-mail.
Lower resolutions
produce less detailed images and smaller file sizes—they
look great on-screen, take up less space on the Picture Card, and transmit
quickly by e-mail.
