Image quality question

[blakjak8]

Please post some of the pics?! I am very interested in the file size vs quality issue myself. I have a Sony a200 and shoot in Jpeg fine, usually just out of convenience. It is just easier to copy to a disc and let friends edit them to their liking. I am quite often photographing friends kid's activities and they are really expecting a lot less quality than I deliver...free of charge. I consider it a great learning experience and a fun social event. And yes, I do delete the bad shots first. Their 4x6 prints are way above acceptable snapshot quality. But even then the file sizes are very large. When I take personal "important" (i.e. printable ) shots, I use both RAW and jpeg fine. It does allow me to be a lot more flexible with a picture before the printing process. Which brings me to another question...Who is YOUR favorite print service? Or do you "Go it alone"?

Thanks Ian. I agree that the fun factor is the most important thing for me right now. I have not been to the Philly zoo in over 10 years and I'm really looking forward to the new big cat habitat.

DScience - thanks for the offer, thats very kind, but we're going tomorrow. Thanks for the thought though.:hug::

blakjak8 - If i decide to shoot anything with the medium file size, which is doubtful, I'll post a side by side comparison. As far as a favorite print service - I don't use one.
