Is there a great difference between 'super fine' and 'fine' with resolution

I didn't notice "great difference". Since I've just got a small CF of 128MB, I seldom shot in RAW and almost always use "fine".

Super fine is better than fine. If you make large prints or crop you will see the difference.

Why not checkout the images in the G1 review on this site? You can see the same shot in all possible resolutions and image sizes.

I used these when determining what mode to shoot in before 4 months in SE Asia.

Dear Stefan

Thanks for your advice, I forgot that part of this site. What settings did you use during your trip?

Well I had unusual circumstances, in that I thought I might need to store 4 months worth of images on my 1GB microdrive. I was travelling for 4 months around SE Asia, with most of that being in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. I had no idea if I'd be able to back up my images to CD or not, and I had to assume that I would not be able to.

With the high-res sample images, when viewing them in ACDSee, I could not tell the difference in full screen unless I zoomed in. 95% of my images will probably only be viewed on the screen. For this reason I chose the maximum image size 2048x1536 (for when I do print), and maximum compression (which is called 'normal' I think). Each picture is around 500K, so I should be able to get 2000 on my microdrive.

It turned out to be enough. I chose the right settings for that trip, but now that I'm in Amsterdam, I'm switching back to Super Fine.

Thanks for the reaction. You mentioned that you are now in Amsterdam.
Are you living there?

Did you shoot any photos's of cows during your trips? I'm collecting photo's of cows from all over the world on my website.
