Are lower quality cameras better for making images for the Web
I have prepared thousands of jpeg images for the web for different websites, so I can definitely say it is something I have done a lot of.
As a result, I have a pretty good idea of which images are going to cause a problem, even before I start to prepare them.
By ‘problem’ I mean that the file size of the image is bigger than I would like.
One thing I have learned is that high-end cameras take better images but a lot of this is lost on the web, so why struggle with large file sizes (and high-end cameras make bigger files because they capture more detail) when you can get vibrant images that suit the web using lower quality cameras?
Example image of Bluebell Woods here: Is it from a high-end or low-end camera?
