Many if the pictures on my site below ('Bee and Vee', 'Diary of Events')
were taken with such a camera - indeed many are digital photos of slides
projected onto a screen! (I have a film scanner now). A typical 640x480
image generates an image of 70k. When run through my freeware photo
manipulation software (GSP PhotoEditor) this reduces to 25k with no visible
degradation in a browser. Further processing with a web compression utility
such as can be found at http://www.netmechanic.com/ can reduce this still
further to below 20k. All perfectly adequate for web work.
