May come out seeming newbish, but using "superfine" to "fine" really make a difference? I'm just curious if its suppose to make the picture better quality?

When your camera saves a picture as a JPG, it "throws out" some information. It discards a little bit in superfine, and a little bit more in fine. Whether or not you can notice the difference is a matter of how hard you want to look.

It is almost a rule of thumb to take photos with the least amount of compression and at it's highest resolution. Unfortunately it uses the most memory but that's the trade-off for having a photo that you can do more with when editing.

In my opinion it all depends on what you want to do with the picture. When you're only making pictures to publish on a website you can easily use the 1 Mp-size with a higher compression, but when you want to print maximum size and quality then you need Superfine and the most Mp.

So i guess if you just take random shots at a gathering and take the memory card in to get the photos printed, you would need superfine and full mp to create quality prints

Depends on the size you want. You won't need the 4 Mp and best quality for standard snapshot size prints, but you will for large prints.
