On resolution of the full size image I think there's no way we can judge
it from the small images you've presented and the unknown (to me at
least) camera JPEG and Fast Stone/IrfanView pre-processing which has
been applied. That and the fact that you have lost some images to
incorrect white balance settings should lead you to begin experimenting
with raw.
