How blue is the sky?
How long is a piece of string?
Meaning, though I have no idea of canstock's requirements, in general you can start with a high quality compact digicam (nothing to do with how many functions it has, only the end quality of the image), with optimal lighting, but it's so much easier with a dSLR.

Although the standard compact can take 12-14 Mega Pixels, the problem is the size of the lens. Most of your pictures will get rejected for being grainy and / or out of focus. Under the most ideal conditions (perfect light with very low ISO setting) you might be able to get an approval here or there, but it will probably be more frustrating than anything else (1 or 2 approvals out of every 50-100 images).

IMO not worth your while. If you have Adobe Illustrator or CorallDraw you can perhaps rather look at creating Vector images to start with.

I'd have the same conclusion but would nitpick that it's largely the sensor (very small) and secondarily the lens quality that makes using a point and shoot for stock difficult. Given the work you'd have to do in post, including downsizing quite a bit with most of the images, I can't see how it could make sense.

That's basically the answer. Santosa, microstock isn't a get rich quick scheme. Although, if you learn a lot you can one day make some nice money, especially as one dollar converts to a lot where u are. As well as having the right equipment, you need to know the market. You seem to like Canstock, go to their site, type in a keyword, choose sort by downloads and that's what you have to produce to be really successful.
