I submit as RF but I remember searching about this matter not so long ago and there was a comment from Sean saying it was allowed, have they changed the rules?

sure I was thinking more of stock, I have seen approved pictures at DT with ISO3200 from a D3100 lol
maybe they were shot in daylight or just low-light, not by night in a dark street. the noise in ISO3200 is especially obvious in the dark shadows and there's no perfect way to denoise it unless you create several layers with PS and denoise it selectively one by one and the final image will look overmanipulated.
we're still very far from having a kickass sensor and maybe it will never exist, it's already unthinkable that nowadays the high end models can shoot noiseless at ISO800 and make relatively low noise at ISO1600 or ISO3200.
yep they are dailylight but my point is that they got over at ISO3200 and boy they are noise all over..

thanks for sharing, even ISO1600 is insane, looking forward to try it out
without a tripod and without a flash if you shoot nightlife inside bars or poorly lit streets you will need ISO 1600, 3200, and sometimes even 6400 with speeds of 1/30 or 1/60 and this with a F1.8 lens !
so YES a noiseless high-ISO camera is very very welcome as far as i'm concerned.

Currently eight including Alamy. Three in the top tier, two in the middle tier and two in the low earners, plus Alamy. Considering adding Deposit Photos. Is DP worthwhile?
sure it is

I'm on 15 now, counting Alamy. I still make 90% of my income from the top four, though. Some, like Depositphoto, Photodune, and Veer, are doing okay. Then there are sites like Crestock and StockFresh that just seem dead, dead, dead.
dont use the "dead" word, they might get you like CC did with me  (how sad...) thanks for sharing Lisa, I believe I am over 30, basically if I am not shooting/editing for any reason (lazyness, etc) I am looking for more revenue, majority doesnt take off or take like 2 years to a payout some are nice surprises like iSignstock, at this moment I am uploading to 4 "new" agencies, all seem to have potential, will see that later (I am talking about agencies that are willing to do the submitting job) will keep posted the intervenients of this post  p.s: 84% from top 5 agencies (2011 totals)

not a great detailed review but
http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/22/nikon-d800-vs-nikon-d700-high-iso-comparison.aspx/
I had a bit of a play with the D800 at CP+ in Yokohama it seemed very nice, but Nikon basically set up a black box with their employees wearing white gloves and explaining their cameras (in Japanese which wasn't much use). Canon on the other hand had a row of 1DXs out on a bench with some 70-200 f2.8 lenses and a bright area behind it with a whole lot of models wandering around to shoot. Guess which camera was more fun to shoot with at the show?
As far as noise goes, I don't think any of the next generation of FF cameras are going to show much below ISO3200.
thanks for sharing, even ISO1600 is insane, looking forward to try it out

this wont be the poll of 2012 but I believe it may be interesting to see if contributors are looking for more income beside the top 5 agencies, please vote

I assume PP is ts earnings? anybody heard anything?
like I have said, 1 sale

we know that everybody will do differently in all agencies especially the low/middle tier ones, the polls are an average of around 100 contributors I guess, its not even a very big universe..
impossible to know if you are going to do "well or bad" in a small agency, its your choice basically
bigstock, canstock for me is the best example, I do 3x less than DP or PD

123RF is a top agency for me, I do more there than I do at FT, DT and IS (without PP)

I tried that . Didn't work. And what if I have images later on that need this MR. I think they make it more complicated than necessary . Well no model images for photodune I'm afraid..
didnt work?? thats weird, have mine uploaded that way, after clicking process they show up and I submit and all good

Isn't the title of this thread 'low earners - good income' a double negative?
it aint.. its relative actually.. it can be a good income considering its a low earner

I would bet that for the majority of contributors it's the same few agencies.
of course the top 5, beside the ones we hide

That is one of the new package sales I think. Just another nail in iStock's coffin, or is that another self-inflicted shot into the foot?
still exclusive? how many days left?
