I am a professional photojournalist. I have a digital Nikon 12 pixel camera. When taking pic's for fun I use the email low version of quality "less pixels". I got so caught up in taking my own self portrait with Chloe' I forgot to change them to the higher pixel. Which gave me a grainy photo which of course gave my photo pictures a poor quality picture of us. It took over an hour to use the self timer and to get Chloe' from hiding behind things  to have the pictures taken. After 50 pictures, I had to crop out the tongue, teeth, etc etc, that appeared. It's a lot of work taking your own pictures, and to have it come out grainy was a disappointment. But the family was tired of seeing pictures of only the dog and not me so it really doesn't matter for my situation. They will love them and not know the difference. But it might make a difference to you and I wanted to share this with you.
 
Good luck and have a Blessed Christmas.
