Hi


I thought I would ask you this question in the hopes you can either give me some information or guide me to where I may be able to get some more .

IWhat I would like to find out is much more direct but at the same time consise and straightforward information about "stock photography".
I would mainly be looking for what kinds of photos are the most popular as well as what kind of equipment is the most popular to use to get it best results.
At present I have a "Canon S5 IS" camera and although it it is very good I was looking the possibility of buying a "DSLR" in the future. I was looking at the "Nikon D80" or the "Pentax K10D" . I also have to consider the fact that my budget is limited, I have two "Pentax lenses" but have been told that it is the sensor in a digital camera as well as the lense you use that matters. I am sure that you have a lot more knowledge about this than I might ever have.


I would appreciate any help you can offer thanks Craig

Since your budget is limited, I'd consider the Pentax.
You already have Pentax lenses, that saves money.
It has image stabilisation built into the body, which makes lenses cheaper than the equivalent Nikon VR lenses, because it's not in the lens. Every lens you use benefits form the vibration reduction.

The sensor seems good, I've seen some good sports images taken with it, comparable with similar price Canon/Nikon ... and Pentax have always had a good reputation for quality lenses.
Take a look at Mike's images (Didache) in the UK Members Met thread in viewfinder.
