Resolution vs. print size vs. compression. HELP??

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I'm trying to make the move to digital and am still confused.

1) Would print size dictate resolution? If I just want snap shots, would certain resolutions be overkill? What should I choose?

2) Likewise for compression: Can I get by with more compression if I'm just printing snap shots?

Many thanks for help. Lewis
