Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the correct placing for my query, but here goes! In a couple of weeks I'm getting a Konica Minolta DiMage A2...I write a food article for a couple of papers here in Queensland, Australia...one of the papers require photos of the food attached with the articles and request that the jpegs be at high resolution 200KB...I have absolutely no idea who to go about this and any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in anticipation of your replies.

Hi Georgi,

According to what I see on the internet, your camera is an 8-megapixel camera. An 8-megapixel camera will give you a pixel resolution of 3264 x 2448. That means that at 300 dpi which is considered high resolution, the print size will be 10.88" x 8.16". The picture saved in TIFF format which means no compression and gives you the best quality, would be a file size of 22.8 Megabytes. If they are only wanting 200KB then you will have to compress the file using jpeg. If you use a compression factor of 80 the file size will be 199KB, or compression factor of 79 will be a file size of 203KB.

Gerogi, I hope this helps just a little,
