98%.  I chose this to match the setting the camera uses. 

[matthewm at alnwick Desktop]$ for i in imgp8984-*; do echo $i; identify
-verbose $i | grep Quality; echo; done
imgp8984-digikam.jpg
  Quality: 98

imgp8984-original.jpg
  Quality: 98

 So my input and output files are roughly the same size.

[matthewm at alnwick Desktop]$ ls -l imgp8984-*
