Customers Worldwide are looking for photos to sell their goods/services right NOW. You can sell photos from your digital camera.
There are several ways to do this but the most common is through a photolibrary. You need at least a 6 Megabyte camera or people won't look at your pictures.
DIGITAL CAMERAS
The biggest thing to hit Stock Photography since the start of Photography. Publishers are now able to bypass the whole scanning process and make major savings. Fuji Canon and Nikon are the most commonly used pro Digital cameras.
Presuming that you are taking SHARP, COLOURFUL, INTERESTING photos, there is no reason why YOU can't make money from Stock (bigger is better and most Stock Photo Agencies insist on a 50 Megabyte picture size).
BEWARE of claimed picture sizes - some 12Mb cameras are actually 6Mb cameras with fancy software to make the picture expand in the camera! (You can increase the picture size to 50 Mb in Genuine Fractals or Adobe Photoshop programs but you should start with at least a 6Mb file).
This seems a lot but it's only just enough to print a HIGH QUALITY 2 page magazine spread. Customers want to illustrate THEIR product,article,service or news item. You have to put yourself in the customers place before you even take the picture
Consider WHERE the picture will sell before you take it.
