ARGB_8888. Again, when working on a camera app that's intended as much for serious photography as the goofy side, why shoot myself in the foot by immediately throwing image quality out the window? > 3 MP (milli pixels?) at 24 bit per pixel, RGB_888, is 9 megabytes. No...the person who replied had written it as mb ... I corrected it before replying to it. I don't think there is such thing as a mp (or a mb, for that matter ... and if there is, I'd LOVE to know what use it is). > 5 millipixels at 24 bit is 15 megabytes. I think you meant MP. :-) > Not 750 kB and 1.1 MB. And since he'd referred to JPG sizes, that's what *I* was referring to, not bitmap sizes (I think I included bitmap sizes in there, as well, but specified bitmap, not jpeg. And yes, I did two samples, one at each resolution, both saved as a JPG, and those WERE the respective file sizes. I didn't just dream those up. Oh, and *NONE* of the photos I've taken, even at 5 MP, ended up being 15 MB jpegs (at least, none so far).
