Re: [PRODIG] 20mpx images for libraries?

[Anthony Harrison]

I've met (very) successful stock shooters doing LF in the studio, but in relation to digital stock I think automatically of DSLRs rather than ridiculously expensive digital backs, which is why the phenomenon of libraries demanding unrealistically high file sizes is so odd. Not to mention Mr Tome's bizarre remarks about <<We are just sick of getting digital images from digital cameras. They are just NOT as good as a good scan... And digital cameras are not there yet. .. STOP buying digital cameras. Just be patience!!>>
There are most certainly agencies out there who started embracing digital capture, from a technically well informed viewpoint, years ago, and are encouraging their contributors to go digital as fast as possible. Within weeks of getting an S2 I've had images from it accepted by two agencies - not Getty etc, but not obscure small-timers either. In fact, the latter type of agency tends to be less than well informed about digital, and more likely to demand (say) 50Mb minimum file sizes. The head of one agency I know still shoots a lot of stock himself - on a Canon 1D and a Nikon Coolpix...
