Perhaps you don't notice any appreciable difference, but I'd be very surprised if there wasn't *any* loss in quality. That may be important to you later on, if you decide to edit files.
My eyesight is pretty good. I cannot detect any measurable loss of picture quality. It looks like the Sony camera just does not do any kind of compression of the jpg file. Each picture file is on average about 1.5mb long. Opening and saving the file in Gimp chops it down to about 600kb.
