I love my Olympus 24-120 2.8.  But I got tired of waiting for a better camera body (with a bigger chip) so I bought a Mark II with the 24-70 last month.  I found the 24-70 to be soft in the corners on the wide.  I took it to the Canon service center yesterday.  Hopefully they can fix it.

Ha! Its very hard and expensive also, to replace Oly's superior optics!!!
 But I think ,we can expect something excellent from Olympus...
They have DSLR quality on MICRO 4:3 sensor in PEN, so what will be with new normal sensor or... ?
So, this year we haven't anything new from Olympus, but 2011 can be excellent with new products...

Rumors circulating!!!

I got a payout with them (in my case $28) pretty quickly when I closed my account last week - shame it took the threat of legal action to get it.

I think their official policy is that if you don't reach $50, they keep the amount because its not worth their while to process anything less manually. When you're already paying the lowest commission in the industry (ok I understand some contributors get a "special deal"), try to undercut everyone else's rates with some of the cheapest subscriptions, then you could at least manage to spend a few minutes to pay some mealy earnings.

One agency I certainly won't miss!

So I will get my money if I close my account?

For this are not guilty CNN and Thinkstock, we are guilty!!!

We who?  I don't have any images on Thinkstock.

My average $/DL is over a dollar.   I'm not interested in a site that pays no more than .25/DL

I understand you Lisa, you have right in the domain of Microstock...
Isn't point in 0,25$ or 0,33$ or 0,35 etc. That belongs to our principles...
But the problem is that we allow things such as subscription and their licenses for our images...
Whether it is SS, Thinkstock or any other agencies, problem is not the difference in earnings for a few cents even bucks, the problem is in complete approach to Microstock licensing ...

What macrostockers will tell to us!?

We need to know that behavior of customers  can be different for each of them...

Someone want usual best seller, but someone want a new photo, in that case best match position is  irrelevant!

P.S.

I have heard that IS exclusivity brings 40-60% more in average...

So , IS piece of cake before exclusivity need to be also cca 40-60%  ...

My part of IS is cca 30%, that is not enough to think about exc.
