Got a new camera, and need some help figuring out megapixels and resolution? Kodak EasyShare if anyone has it?

I got the Kodak EasyShare touch screen HD camera...anyways if anyone has it if they can tell me how they like it....and my actual question is...Does lowering the MP change the size, and if yes is it also lowering the picture quality? And does lowering the resolution on the video also lowering video quality?



The two higher resolution chioces says HD and the lower ones doesn't say that next to the resolution selection, so does that mean the lower the resolution it is no longer HD?Got a new camera, and need some help figuring out megapixels and resolution? Kodak EasyShare if anyone has it?
You should never EVER set your camera to anything less than best quality (i.e. lowest compression rate) and biggest size (highest resolution).



The reasons for that include:



1) If you have a good, large photo, you can crop it more later on without losing too much detail if you really have to.

2) If you happen to take the best photo you ever took, you'll be able to print it at a large size. If you lowered size and quality, you'd be kicking yourself.

3) If you decide later you really don't want to keep a big file, it is very easy to down-size it in post processing - but you can't go the other way, you can't invent pixels that weren't there in the first place.

4) Memory cards are cheap, so are bigger hard drives. There is NO reason to do anything less than the best.
