5MP, 34/38MP or DNG?

[interiorlulu]

Am interested to know what people do with their 1020 / 1520 photo files. Do you just use the 5mp files or bin them and use the 34/38mp files? Or use dng? I'm struggling a bit with how to manage the files, 5mp is the easiest and benefits from the pureview zoom etc but seems a bit small and not very future proof. 34/38mp means more fiddling on a pc as does dng. Any thoughts or experiences? Cheers.

it really comes down to how and why you take pictures, for most people who just want to post on a social website the 5mp picture is there best bet, quick and easy to post, however if your an amateur photo buff or even a professional photographer the 34mp or dng files give you the widest range of editing and tweaking the photo to suit your needs

Thanks. I guess I'll use the high res or dng ones or at least maybe keep them as archive files and use the 5mp ones back on the phone.
