I thought I should make a separate topic from @xdude's thread about DSLR cameras. This thread has to do with the size of photos when they are downloaded from one's camera to one's computer.
My camera is a little Canon A2400 PowerShot with 5 times optical zoom abilities (16.0 mega pixels). It may be little but it takes great photos. Usually when I download the photos they are HUGE as they contain the ability to magnify the photos when I work with them in GIMP. I prefer it that way as I can then crop them as I wish.
So now I'm curious. With the last batch of photos I downloaded, they were without the magnification and the size immediately gave it away. They were approx 120kb each whereas previously they would have been 1 or 2 GB. How did this happen?
