    Hello,
    I own this 4mp Olympus Stylus 410. It is touted as a 4mp camera, and it does take good photos, however, Is it not suppose to create around 4000 k files? The biggest files I get are 2398 or so! I do have it set to super high quality, so I do not think this is it. Or maybe I am wrong and it will only create 2.4 mp pics, but then it is not really a 4mp camera, right?! Can someone please explain. Thanks.

    You are mixing up [bold](MP)[/bold] and [bold](MB)[/bold] -- MP is the number of [bold]pixels[/bold] your camera scans an image and stores it. -- MB is the number of [bold]bytes[/bold] that the picture you took will use on your storage card.

    There is nothing wrong with your camera !! <<smiles>> you are taking shots that uses 2.3MB of space on your storage card.
