With my Nikon D-100, I have the following file sizes:
TIFF: 18 MB
JPEG (High): 3 MB
Since the camera has 6.1 MP sensor, 3 bytes (RGB) X 6 MP = 18 MB, makes sense. My question has to do with the amount of compression.
It appears that the High Quality in the D-100 is producing a file ~25% of the maximum.
A friend of mine purchased a pocket camera with a 7 MP sensor and her JPEG file size when set to High Quality is ~18 MB. It appears that the JPEG specification provides for a near zero compression. Is this a correct assumption?
