Anyone tried the Sony Vaio Z serie?
13" screen , very light, less expensive and more powerful than macbook pro, it could be a good choice for travelers .

Noise and artifacts are very different, I have some pictures at 800 iso and even 1600 approved at istock and many 100 iso and no sharpening rejected for artifacts with 5D mark II.

yes I know there's a plugin, but We nedd analytics in the isyndica site, not as a plugin!

yes I know the pricings, I've already signed for a "plus" subscription for 20 GB and i've already 6Gb used in one month with some video, did you think users going to upgrade subscriptions every month to reach finally the 159$/month plan for only storage and uploading? Actually storage space cost almost nothing everywhere!

Yes Pixelbitch,
I don't know why Shutterstock earnings, at least the daily total, can't be represented in the analytics display, a simple plugin ( an excellent) like picniche does it!
I think the prices are ok for pictures but really high for video: 10 cents for uploading a video at only one site is expensive and the space storage is actually ridiculous: 20Gb for 10$ per month and you rapidly need to buy credits if you intend to upload more than 10 video per month!!
I think the storage space must be at least x2 or x3 for the same price and the uploading credits for video 5$.

No, I think all is fake: the site has an incredibly unprofessional look and the message says 800000$ are invested in promotional campaigns!!!
Look at the portfolio: vectors, photos etc. came from other microstockers , even the member's picture is stolen!
I've sent the same message in shuttterstock's  forum...hope answer will follow...

Update:  Almost 2 hours I've started uploading six pictures to 10 sites and 123rf, shutterstock, stockxpert and fotolia are freeze, I have enough credits remaining, so it's a system malfunction.

Hum...I've tried the 4,99$ subscription yesterday and I don't think I will stay another month: the 200 credits was almost spent in 2 days for 14 pictures upload at 8 sites and one video at 4 sites.
Today their uploading is far more slower than mine at 100kb/s, I'm waiting since more than 30 minutes and the uploads freeze even if I refresh the web page. Definitively too expensive for only data storage and not working uploading. ???
