Has anyone noticed that when you take a picture, the file size is around 1 MB? On iPhone and older BlackBerry devices, the file size is 2 to 3 MB. Now I understand that file size does not mean superior quality but I can't help but wonder if we're losing quality with the smaller file size. Can anyone elaborate?
There is always a compromise between compression and image quality. Whether the difference is significant is for the individual user to judge in the context of the desired usage.
I agree but what I'm saying is for the exact same shot, with my iPhone 5 and 9800, the file size is double than the file size on my Z10.
Because the camera sensors may not be the same size and if they are, they probably use different rates of compression when converting a RAW file to jpeg.
Also, if I remember correctly, on my old 9900, you could adjust picture quality, (extra fine, fine, regular or something like that) which also effects file size. The Z10 does not have this option.

Puzzling huh? I was kinda wondering too. I copied a 1mb pic from my Z10 and cropped and printed. Found the pic to be very clear...nice. Just my two cents.
Ratio is 16:9
Normal shooting mode (changing to HDR does not increase size)
Auto scene
Geotag is ON
Try 4:3 ratio. 4:3 is apparently the native sensor ratio. If you take a picture in both ratios you will notice that the 4:3 is actually larger than 16:9 which is just a crop of the 4:3.
There is a thread dealing with this if you want more details.

Thanks.
You're absolutely right. I changed it to 4:3 and now I'm getting a larger file size.
