Hi-res being 7mp. guess thats not as hi-res as your 10mp mister fancy pants. i have the choice, but I make the choice not to go any lower.......
My pants are not fancy and the camera is over 2 years old and just a pocket camera. You can find inexpensive pocket cameras now that are 12 mp. My freinds Nikon is 24 mp.
All of this is moot because the standard computor moniter is no more than 3 mp so I really do not know what your thinking is taking all your photos at 7mp unless you plan on printing them larger than 8X10's.
The real resolving power of a camera is the ability of the camera to capture fine detail in a scene and depends on many things such as signal to noise ratio, optics quality, focus accuracy as well as the number of pixels captured by the camera. Basicly meaning you can have a camera that says "8mp" but because of a poor lens the image will never be "high res".
Many folks somehow think the bigger the number the better the photo, which is a false concept. If you just print a 3x4 the human eye can not really tell the difference between one taken with a 10 mp setting and one taken with a 5 mp setting.
Most times you are just wasting memory using a high mp setting on your camera. Kind of like paying for a picture of beer and only drinking one glass...
The whole point here is we are talking about a photo of a tire, not trying to bring out the subtle differences in a close up of a metal flake paint job. Just about every photo editing software I have seen has some kind of re-sizing feature.I know there is free software online that does only that.
I'm just saying if it were me, I would as a favor to those intrested , even if it went against my own self imposed standared, just to be a helpfull guy , I'd post the photos here for them to see. Asking someone to join your little trendy facebook page just to see the photos is a bit douchey.
And perhaps I am mistaken , but didn't someone else already create a
webpage for sharing large files for this forum?
If someone has a link for that you can post them there if you lack the proper software to re-size your photos.
EDIT: Sorry, the site is here:

But it appears to only be for text type files. ...so scratch that then....lol
