Better to shoot using the larger size. That said, I think today's mega-megapixel cameras are overkill unless you're printing a billboard. My camera has 8 mp and that's fine for me. My last camera had 3, and even that has worked fine for my gum prints. But I find 1-2 mp a bit small for editing.The current camera is 5 mp, and the jpegs are 1.5 MB...I imagine I could have made them larger (tho probably only as raw).... I remember a while back whatshisname in the Times said more than 5 mp, unless you're doing billboards, is overkill,,, but I suppose nobody makes cameras that small any more except for doll houses. (It's like when we had to replace refrigerator & oven after 25 years, we had to rip out parts of the kitchen cabinet to fit the new ones in.) J.
