I have a 7 megapixel camera and trust me it gets irritating when you have owned it for a while. Reason- I always forget to set it on lesser megapixel mode before taking photos. The results are, huge pictures that are thrice my monitor size and four times the Facebook picture size. Each photo takes up nearly 3mb.

I took 60 photos last night and it cost me a little less than 200mb of the virtual real estate. I used Farstone bulk photo resizer to lower the picture sizes to to the good old 1024. The photos impressively got compressed to 18mb with no apparent loss in the quality. It is faster to upload them online and share with friends.

200mb-18mb no loss in quality

Farstone photo resizer is a very easy to use freeware utility.
