The problem isn't with the cameras, most of which are good.

It is with people who insist on using hopelessly outdated methods for using the internet. Like dial up.

The internet is about moving information. In the case of photographs, this usually means detail, which requires larger files.

If you are still on dial-up by choice, you need to rethink things.

No insults intended here, but using the equivalent of Packard technology here serves no useful purpose is, unlike our cars, is not enjoyable.

Forcing unrealistic standards on others so you can live in the past is the height of self centered conceit.

Having said this, before you have a hissy fit directed at me, rethink what you are asking all of us to do for you.

I lived on dial up for years on the grounds of economy. It may have been the dumbest thing I ever did.

When I ask for pictures for help, I want to see detail,
not pixels.

P.S.

One of the biggest problem I see with pictures is most cameras save the photos in JPG format with no compression, which makes the file size HUGE, and slow to load.

Actually, jpgs from small cameras are already highly compressed. In Photoshop, JPG compression is variable, from awful to very good in 100 steps. The better the quality, the bigger the file. Opinions vary widely on what constitutes acceptable quality.
