Million Dollar Idea number 005

You know how you can set some cameras to bracket exposure automatically? Well, what if a digital camera bracketed compression? I think I would use that feature all the time, and I don't even own a digital camera. I can really see myself getting frustrated scaling and recompressing a bunch of high-resolution snapshots that I took, but when I take that one amazing snapshot that I'd like to turn into an eight-by-ten, I probably will have set the camera to "extra crappy" quality. With quality bracketing, I could just delete the image that I don't want. On second thought, maybe some cameras currently on the market will let the user resize or compress previous images. Maybe that makes this only a Thousand Dollar Idea.
