I have a quick question on image quality -- is it better to take larger pics and then resize them to what you want. Or just shoot in the size you want?

Example: On my S3IS, I usually have it on 2272x1704 and then I will resize the pics to 640x480. I can change it to 640x480 but I thought image quality is lost?

Anyone want to explain? lol

Sorry for the delayed response.

If you're using any halfway decent program for resizing with the right settings you'll see no difference in the final 640x480 image. You'll know you need to use a better resizer if your straight lines start looking jagged.

The upside to taking pictures in a larger format is that you have more information in the picture. That allows you to crop in post production, and make physical prints at larger sizes. I have 6mp images printed at 18x24" that look great, but obviously they wouldn't if I had used a 640x480 (.3mp) image.

Does that help?
