This is "Photography 101". If people use different cameras that have differing characteristics (e.g. 2 Mpixels vs. 10 Mpixels, 4 x 3 aspect ratio vs 16 x 9 aspect ratio, etc.) you'll get different results, won't you?...I just know I'm going to have issues with images they add to each article. IE: too big, wrong pixel size, wrong orientation, wrong aspect ratio etc.
To some extent you can resize images "on-the-fly" with CSS, setting max/min widths and heights that will give you an approximate "consistent" size, but the resize images may appear stretched. As far as plugins are concerned, I'd give them a wide berth. Rather than tie up processing resources at the server, let the user's web browser do the work.
As @AMurray suggests, if you're looking for a means to display images with links to products, use a gallery extension. There are many gallery extensions available.
Ultimately, it's not your website and you shouldn't worry about how the site operator manages or mismanages it. In fact, if the site operator turns the website into a dog's breakfast, let them contact you to remedy the errors of their ways. But everything turns on how the images were sourced in the first place. Garbage-in-garbage-out, you know?
