Let's try 200x300 pixels for thumb, or text links. Target images shouldn't
be more than 800 - 1000 px in any direction. Don't expect quality of
your lenses to shine there; you will need at least 2000x4000 to show
photo with a hint of details you have on a 8x10 print.
Miserable quality of Internet as a display medium have helped
so called "digital technology" to start. There you have a
1024x768 px image called "very high quality"....
look at my page for sample sizes. don't expect miracles...
