What resolution to use on S45?

[dave_omexa]

What resolution should I use on the S45? And approximately how many photos can you take on the higher rez, and the 1600 rez on a 128MB CF card? I will be travelling for 30 or so days, and I don't think I'll be able to d/l my files anywhere, but I want to take as many photos as I want too.

Should I buy more CF cards? How big would be sufficient?

Thanks heaps...

highest quality pix (Super Fine 4mp) are about 1.5mb
high quality pix (Fine 4mp) are about 1mb
(so you could fit about 120 of them on a 128mb card)

The size of pictures can vary quite a bit, especially because of number of colours (a pic of a white sheet will be a lot smaller than one of a flower bouqet)

Well, it depends on WHERE you will travel, but I think that 30 days is sufficient to find many interesting things to take pictures of even in the middle of nowhere... ;-) IMHO a 256 card would be an absolute minimum.
