if you're doing microstock, there's really no justification for paying more than $1000 for a camera. the quality of cheaper cameras is just as good, even for silly mega requirements of places like istock or alamy -- most sales at other sites are by subscription and you give away camels at donkey prices. it's absurd that the same picture at DT costs $10 by and individual but $.35 by subscription, but we're trapped in an oligopoly - capitalism at its worst
