I am still baffled as why these thumbnails have to be produced in the first
place. A proof/contact sheet, some sort of project, what?


To put them on a web page which loads fast with links to
higher-resolution images.

I didn't mention that because I don't see why it's relevant.

Yes, different cameras, but same aspect ratio. Yes, the contents of the
photos are different, but the difference in file size depending on
content is much less than the difference between the two cameras. JPEG
quality is certainly not exactly the same for the high-resolution
images.
