There are a lot of factors to consider, but manufacturers seem to fairly successfully hoodwink the public into thinking that megapixels is what it's all about and nothing else.

I am sure that you are right, sadly the other influencing factor, as explained to me at the time, was the name, I have for many years had a really good Pentax video camera, which whilst it is heavy by todays standards. Still produces great results.

The different software that came with my printer, scanner and the camera can usually deal with my photos but have read that pixresizer is fine and it's free to download.

PIXresizer

Just downloaded and ran this PIXresizer and yes it shrinks the image file to whatever size you want.
Tried with 2.38mb 3840x2880 image and shrank it to 99.1kb 960x720 image
in one second.
Nice one western smt ,its just the job thanks.

If you use photobucket to host your pics, there is an option to sesize them. I use photoscape to resize before posting.
