Yes, when the prices variation is in a few percentage bracket but here you speak about selling the same pictures 200$ on Alamy and 1 $ or less in microstock agencies.

Everybody here seems trying to get a better return for their pictures, if you sell the same thing at both markets you just muddle the water a bit more.

Is it so difficult to keep some really good photos for the better paying market and help them to make a difference ?

10mp image at alamy = $330 I believe this to be a full extended licence (the biggest from any site, except for buyout) so the equivalent at istock is 100 credits or about $130 to buy the same thing.

still a fair bit of difference

I have over 1000 images taken with 6mp camera on alamy its been over 2 years since I had a rejection for quality.

Firstly, Alamy don't accept "10MP" images without up-sizing, secondly the price depends on what they're using it for.  They've had sales for thousands, they had sales for not much more than microstock.

sorry I meant, to buy an image at 10mp from either site (so from alamy it would be upsized then downsized) and with alamy it would be RF, non distributor sale, non novel use, non negotiated, just plain price
