Try Pixresizer - it allows you to specify the picture size by pixel size as well as reducing it by a percentage. I find it very very easy to use
anyway for resizing pics for this site
Linky to download site

You need to alter the compresion ratio (quality) if you want small file size for a large resultion.
Ive not sure pauls suggested software but it sounds like it could do the job.
I use an old beta version of paintshop (free of a mag cover) and just resize to suit, tweaking the compresion ratio at point of saving untill its
about right.

My avatar pic is 200 x 150 pixels and is 14k in size according to the photo gallery so hope this is helpful. Cant remember what the original pic was
so might not be too useful - as said the compression ratio may need to be altered (or simply set the camera(s) up to suit if thats an option)

Gimp is a brilliant free programme that is like photoshop. Worth a look.

^^^ yeah, get TheGimp. Extremely powerful program and aswell as setting size by pixels you can change the quality of the compression.
