Help in picture size?

Hi- forgive me if this is a painfully poor question. I was using an Olympus digiatal cemera, and the pics were 50-150 KB usually. I just bought a Kodak V550 and Im struggling with it. Every pic is 900KB- 1+ MB. It takes 4 minutes to upload to an email and is impossible to see when received! What am I doing wrong? Thanks to anyone.

Steve, the Kodak V550 is a 5 megapixel (MP) digital camera. It probably produce images that are much bigger than your older Olympus digital camera. 5 MP images are too big to mail around and generally too big for web sites as well. There are two ways to get smaller pictures.

One, change the setting on your digital camera to shoot smaller images. The Kodak V550 have settings for 5.0 MP, 4.4 MP, 4.0 MP, 3.1 MP, and 1.8 MP. If the V550 is a replacement for you Olympus digital camera, you can pick a setting on the V550 that is close to the Olympus.

Two, shoot photos at 5 MP and resize them later in a photo-editing software. The software that came with your digital camera should allow you to resize your picture to any size you wish. If you want to get a better idea about image resize, take a look at my "How to keep image file size down to 50 KB" article elsewhere on this web site.
