flixbix,
My Canon Powershot is only a 2Mb and that's plenty. I shoot at 600x800 which is one of the lower resolutions, and I'd probably get the same results as your 1Mb.
The secret is in the manipulation. I usually put mine into Adobe Photoshop (Lite) and do 2 things to them:
1) Use the sharpen filter to crisp up the shot. Generally a one step sharpen makes an amazing difference.
2) Save them as JPEGs at a lower resolution. Even saving at 2 or 3 on the scale of 10 produces little discernable difference in quality for internet viewing, but dropped the size in one case from 105kb to below the 66kb limit.
You only need high res shots for paper prints. That's why manufacturers sell 5Mb-and-up cameras. 1Mb is more than enough for the net.
Hope that helps you.
