Part of my rationale is that I primarily shoot wildlife and action. I'm not going to ever find myself in the position of fiddling with in-camera size and quality settings while a shot gets away. I lose enough of them without the added help.

There is a place in the workflow for image size and quality adjustments. That place should not be in the camera.

Edit to add: One thing I learned on my last trip is that photographers for National Geographic are not allowed to throw any of their images away. They all go to the editor. . .
