Also, storing the images in the database will make the database size bigger, and some versions/databases (such as the express editions) use to have some size restrictions. I agree with Mrdenny.

When you store the images within the database the database has to perform a lot more disk IO than it should to retrieve and store the images. This prevents the database from doing other things while it gets the images. As the database grows (there are always more criminals being added) the problem will get worse and worse and you'll eventually need to make the change anyway. (This doesn't matter what database platform you use.)
