Ted, in all honesty, does it matter one iota what camera was used to take
the picture?

Not the question of technical quality, just  the kind ( brand name) of the
camera.....

THAT is what I rebel against.. and other, similar,  stupidities.....

True.. the demands of the industry are worthless to me.....

Content and quality are what counts...And I do not get that feeling from the
discussions we have had on Stock ......well maybe content for the intended
purpose of the buyer.... but certainly not quality.....

YMMV... especially if you make your living from this endeavor.....

I'm so pleased you don't want to be part of this crazy stock industry
demanding extreme quality and sizes for re-production purposes. Besides as
you say... "you're an amateur" so the high standards and demands of the
industry are worthless. 

Yep we all stand by the "what counts mantra..."  
>>What counts is the image and its content and its technical
excellence......<<<
