Default Image Size on 450D

Guys, i just bought a 450D recently. Have been snapping some photos too but when i transfer the pictures to computer, I find that all my pictures size are at least 3mb plus. Which is actually very big. Any way to reduce the size of the image? Please help! thanks! sorry, i'm a noob!

Two options:
set your camera to record at a smaller size or lower quality;
resize the images on your computer (eg. batch export with Canon DPP)

Colors will be the same, but images will be smaller and not suitable for very large prints. Also, if you intend to edit / crop afterwards, smaller files are not very good to start with.

If your intended use is, say, email or web, perhaps you want to resize them on your computer, since the smallest size offered on 450D is still pretty big for that.

so lets say even if i set to like 2.5 MP, the colour and all will still be the same? i open the picture in my com, the image will still be of good quality right?

If you choose both same quality, it should be the same quality.
