Is YOUR camera on the Alamy list?

They also have a 'Recommended Digital Camera List'.

I have two on the recommended list, and one on the unsuitable list.

I've got one on each.

The recommended list is basically "any SLR", the unsuitable list is virtually everything that isn't an SLR.

Interesting that they recommend upsizing images up to 50meg using interpolation. That doesn't actually add any quality though.

Although they are right on that even if you store the images as JPEGs, that all post processing should be done on an uncompressed version and then re-saved as JPEG.

So a D1H or D2H isn't good enough for them? The D1 isn't on either list so that's obviously so out of date now it's lumped in with the Box Brownie?

No doubt these lists are there to act as a 'crap' filter, but they seem a bit arbitrary.

Thing is a 50MB file when open in Photoshop compresses down to a JPEG about 10MB or so. Re their camera checklist it's all a bit arbitrary, I've got images on there from a Panasonic Lumix and upsizing by 10% multiplie times in Photoshop still got me to the 50MB file size and decent enough quality to pass QA !

Given the prices per image achieved I'm not going to make masses of money. In fact the day I make a taxable profit will be a day to celebrate.
