Not quite sure what you mean by 300 ppi and 200 ppi (assume pixels per inch) I always use 72 ppi for the web so where does the 300 and 200 come in to it?

Roy, yes ppi = pixels per inch. I normally save as compressed jpeg that by default is 300ppi. I noticed that save for web comes in at 200ppi. I have never tried 72. I don't understand how 72 ppi can be better quality than 200 unless for web viewing 200 is way to much and lost detail cannot be seen.
I noticed a big file size difference when I got a 12mp camera over 6mp particularly if there is lots of fine detail. It will be interesting when cameras are 20mp, but perhaps its a lot down to me not being to genned up on file size reduction from large files without loosing detail.
