At 70%, there is visible degradation, but at 95%, you get a 50% space

of data I can store, so does my wallet, so using that space to my advantage
is a must.

jpg is fine if you're satisfied with the image.  But if you plan on
editing the image you'll need to remember that if you keep saving it
at 95% then it is shoved through that lossy process every single time.

It depends on the imaging application and how much of the image you tweak.
For example, if you go in and remove a spot with Adobe Photoshop, it's smart
enough only to alter that part of the image.  (So I've heard.)

Yup.  It also has a good range of filters to improve an image.  Of course,
Photoshop, like most applications has to be set to always save at 100% to avoid
image degradation in a jpg.  Photoshop does a pretty good job of compensating
for my lousy camera technique :)

BTW, I tried to find out what the settings were on the 81 last night, but my
wife had fled with the camera 'ere I eve approached the house.  She takes that
thing everywhere...  Also, the instructions weren't much help, they only come
in German and French (?!?!?) My French isn't that great, but I did figure out
that it will take a single shot of bmp per disk, at 640x480.  no indication of
color depth, though.

One thing I did notice, although I haven't played with it, so I don't know if
it makes a difference or if it's just a salesman tool, is that the camera grabs
the whole image in a single pass, not multiple scans.  Sony says this makes for
a sharper image, but again, I haven't played with it yet.  (hmm, maybe I'll
sneak it off to work someday...)
