Unless you want to produce large photo prints, there is pratically no point for such large image files, since any regular reproduction such as a 5x7 print will require a reduction of the original picture size.
Absolutely right. This is why I have yet to replace my 3.1mp Nikon -- that's plenty of resolution for me! Unless you plan to make posters out of your photos, I'd scale them down quite a bit. Have fun on your trip, BTW; the wife and I leave for Germany in 7 days, and I am counting the days!
