Problem with Multi-MegaPixel Cameras

[CCdaCE]

How about just setting the camera to take 1072 x 860 or whatever. No resizing needed, the cam does it when you take the picture. Plus, way more pictures fit on the digital card.

Cheap lenses, a smaller image sensor AREA (more mp's but also more noise, less light sensitivity, etc) Show him some quality pictures taken with a cheaper camera than he has. How was it done? -ERD50
