I have but it all depends on the photo and the .jpg quality one is saving at. I must admit I saw it really fast when using a Sony Mavica. I preferred .tiffs over .jpgs for this reason and because by their nature .jpgs are lossy compression. I felt I was truly getting a '1st gen' image with .tiffs, where with .jpgs out of camera, I already had an image that may not contain everything that was shot.
This may be a little simplistic or a splitting of hairs, but it made sense to me.
