Hi, can someone tell me that, in Istock, I saw some of other contributor's photo, eg in "small" size is 2 credit but same size in other contributor's photo is 7 credit or 20 credit. So the price different actually is depend how many download for the photo or the contributor level?

It depends on whether the photographer is "exclusive", meaning they don't (or may not - some do) have their work on other sites and then iStock puts pictures from the so-called "exclusives" into differently priced collections, depending on how good they feel the work is.
It's all rather complicated. All non-exclusive work, regardless of quality, goes into the low-cost collection, and so does the less highly thought of exclusive work.
