MegaPIXLE or megaBYTE? Because your camera is around a 6 megapixel camera, at full resolution. File sizes are different. Megabytes are the file size, just like a gigabyte.
The difference is this...Megapixel is the measure of how many pixels the image sensor of your camera has. A 6 megapixel camera takes larger [and higher-resolution] photos than a 3 megapixel camera, because there is more information in the photo. This does relate to megabytes, because usually the higher megapixels your camera is, the more megabytes the file size will be.
I shoot at medium quality so I am not to fill my card up too fast. www.shutterstock.com wants a minimum of 4 megapixle. So when I shoot at medium quality it is at 3.4.
