Well, then, since I was replying to the above post, and we're side-tracked by jpegs, not the bitmaps that I'm asking about how best to handle to allow full resolution (if that's even possible), if the above is true, then ARGB_8888 must not be 24-bit color, because again, NONE of my 5 MP ARGB_8888 photos have been over around 1.3--1.4 MB. Note that I did NOT say 15 MB. And if that IS true, the developer's guide needs to be corrected, because I seem to recall it saying that ARGB_8888 IS 24-bit color. Personally, though, I think your jpeg size of 15 MB is on the high end, and the dev guide is right. Again, just to make sure...I was responding to a post about JPEG sizes, NOT BITMAP SIZES. And I am NOT pulling these file sizes out of my ass, I'm getting them directly from jpeg images in /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/camera.
