You don't shoot in RAW?JPG Fine at 12.2 MP.
It's worth noting that it's a really bad idea to store photos on your memory card-- offload them to a computer after each shoot.
JPEG is a lossy compression method, which removes information from the image to make image files smaller.Why is that?

I'm not a professional photographer (only a hobbyist shooting since December 2007) but I only shoot in RAW because the JPEG images that came out of my XTi just didn't look that good. The more experienced photographers that I hang out with suggested that I start shooting in RAW and then compare the RAW to JPEG conversions to the JPEGs straight from the camera. After seeing that the RAW to JPEG conversions had better clarity, more detail, better color and were sharper than the JPEGs straight from the camera, I set the XTi to RAW and never shot in JPEG again.I'm sure JPG is fine for the OP, its smaller, so if you are doing a burst you get more pictures, recovery time between pictures is faster, you can save more to your card, and copying the files to your computer is faster. Unless you're doing professional work odds are JPG is just fine.
