Comment(by manuq):

 For the preview file format:

 Record is a special case as it uses very loosy compression if low quality
 is set for the taken picture.

 As a rule of digital graphics, you don't want loosy compression in small
 images like thumbnails.  See freedesktop.org spec as reference:

 http://standards.freedesktop.org/thumbnail-spec/thumbnail-
 spec-0.8.0.html#AEN144

 But if we enlarge the size of Sugar's preview, then I would favor a move
 to a loosy format like JPEG.
