i have lots of pictures on my computer but some wont load because i think they are too big so what is the optimum size for pictures to be downloaded to this forum please
I am going to South Africa soon to go on a safari and see some of the gardens. I need to replace my very old not so good camera and would like to buy a good compact. I would welcome advice as to what is best.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Little-ann, I did some experimentation with posting photos to the forum and found that it's the file size which makes the most difference. If you have a PC, download and install the free "Irfanview" program and load your photos into it. Use File, Save As and choose Save as type JPG. You'll see a JPEG/GIF save options screen - move the slider to 75 then click Save on the main window. The applies just the right amount of file compression to allow full size photos to be posted without noticeably affecting viewing quality. The original (as saved by the camera) for the photo below was about 1500kb and wouldn't post in a way that could be clicked and the full size seen. After running it through Irfanview, it is about 300kB. Edit: I forgot that I also resized to 1920x1080!
Taken with a Canon 350D, 1s exposure, ISO800, 18-55mm lens @55mm.

Crikey, punkdoc.....I've been pondering this for ages and finally decided today.
I would look at my post above + Canon PowerShot SX50 HS + Sony Cyber-Shot HX300.....all were on my short list.

Really nice pic, Bob......with that exposure, I expect you used a tripod too.
