What lots of folk don't get is that there are "micro stock" agencies that cater for a different market altogether. You see, the giant image files needed by the bigger agencies are what are required for massive advertising or promoting corporations that need to either show off exceptional quality or reproduce the pictures in print, at greatly enlarged proportions. Five megabytes or above which can be produced by cameras of almost three mega pixels or higher. Here is a excellent item on the theme of niche marketing strategy. This would include your common-or-garden complicated digital compact like a Canon Sureshot for instance. The price of purchasing the pictures is kept extremely low for the purchaser as the file sizes limit the applications for which they can be employed, but are good for the kind of outlets I have just described. It does not mean that you can send any old tat in ; the pictures must be clean ( in all ways ), fascinating, well taken and well exposed. The agencies usually have a "wants" list which is glorious as it allows you to know precisely what you've got to do to get some money. Apart from anything, it also gives you more of a real incentive to go out and employ your camera in a more exciting way.
That's just about double this total population of the US.
