If I want to take a lot of pictures, but still want high-quality, which should I use? I have been using 3M all along, but the pictures come out HUGE on the computer viewer and I can only fit about 20-30 on a memory card.

Thanks.
4M = 2304 X 1728
3:2 = 2304 X 1536
3M = 2048 X 1536
1M = 1280 X 960
VGA = 640 X 480

Here's a chart showing how many shots you should be able to get at a given resolution in fine mode and standard mode in parentheses:


If your camera is set to 3M and your getting 20-30 shots, I'm guessing that you have a 32Mb card.
I always shoot the biggest image that I can to get the best quality and then resize in PhotoShop for whatever purpose I need (printing, posting on the web, emailing, etc.).

If you don't do a lot of printing of the images you take, maybe 1M might be best for you.
Or just get a larger card for your camera and keep shooting big.
