Several agencies have a list of accepted and not accepted cameras.  Here is
Alamy's accepted list:
http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/recommended-digital-cameras.asp

<http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/recommended-digital-cameras.asp>And
not allowed:

Getty has a similar list, restricted to contributors.  It does include as
accepted the Leica M8 and M9 and X1, but not DMR.

<http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/unsuitable-cameras.asp>Alamy used to
require 48MB but has reduced that to 24MB.  Getty requires 47.5-52MB.  I use
to use Alien Skin BlowUp to enlarge files when needed.
