have him shoot 12bit lossy compressed NEFs, that gets you down around 30mb and you\'d have to REAAALLY pixel peep to see any difference vs 14bit lossless. from there, you can downsize them on your computer as DNGs or even as lossy DNGs at a reduced resolution.
as for uploading to your galleries, you\'re talking about finished JPGs, right? you have huge control over that, you could very easily export the JPGs at 10, 12, or 16mp and have file sizes the same as whatever else you use.
Thanks, Brett, this is what I was hoping to hear. As for uploaded, no, I create unedited galleries for my clients to see immediately after the wedding. I export 1 meg-sized JPGs to the gallery, but for some reason, the website host sees these as the 45-meg monsters they once were, so I have to use an alternative method of getting them uploaded.
Shooting with a D600 there are two easy solutions ( 3 if you don\'t mind jpgs instead of RAW) one of which is used by shooters needing to get shots to a sports editor (for example) quickly via a mobile phone or other device via an SD card and a dongle :
a) Have him shoot in RAW and the jpg of your choice (fine, normal, basic - just play around to see what works best for the web, I suspect the Basic will serve your needs just fine if you only need 1MB) then it is easy to export only the jpgs from the first onto the 2nd card (D600 has 2 x SD card slots) for upload to the web. For some this is better than b) below because if you delete a shot you delete both the RAW and jpg and are not left with a jpg on the other card.
b) In the menu you can choose to have RAW in Slot 1 and JPEG in Slot 2 (again you can choose the image quality for the jpg)
c) You can reduce the quality of the jpgs (but not RAW - without shooting in x1.5 crop mode) via the Image Size menu option.
Hope this helps solve your headache !
