====================================
I don't have any experience with Fuji but I can
tell you a best quality image file from any 3MP
camera should create a file much larger than
600KB. Are your image files...2048x1536?

Naturally the Canon G5 would create a larger
file because it's a 4MP camera and creates
a 2592x1944 image.

If you go to Steve's website and view the
samples for the Fuji 3800 you will find them
to be approximately 1.3MBs.

I would suggest that you read your manual and
look for 'image size/quality' settings.
