The less detail in an image the more a jpeg will be compressed. A picture of a blue sky or with the lens cap on will compress more than an image of a tree, or brick wall. Images shot at higher ISO will not compress as much as lower ISO, noise is seen as detail in a jpeg. Open the image in photoshop and check image size and all will show the full pixel dimension and say 60mb.
