Size doesn't matter with PU. Alamy apparently just delivers the high resolution file, no matter what size it happens to be. 

 

I see; I wasn't aware of that.

That is exactly why I have opted out of PU. I have some rather special pictures of David Bowie on Alamy and I sell these as Fine Art prints for decent money. So no way I want my hi rez files released into the wild!

Pleased to license this one, even if only as a distro. Romanesque is my thang, so pre-romanesque ticks even more boxes.

This one in this morning. Irish golfing legend, the late Christy O'Connor Jnr and his wife Ann. $9.99, Presentation or Newsletter, the new PU it seems (which is ironic, as I've cancelled it). Surely that use should have a higher value?

Two mentions of a Sony in this thread so far. I'm in the market for a lighter, smaller camera, my Canon's weigh a ton these days (I'm getting older and weaker). Any advice on a suitable model?

 

Sorry for the delayed response I took an online holiday - anyway - here are my thoughts:

I got the full frame A7rii - I'm a petite 4'11" grandma with a bad back and neck. While my Olympus OMD E-1 is noticeably lighter if I'm carrying it and a few lenses (mostly because the micro-3/4ths lenses are lighter ) it can't compare to the Sony in low light. I bought the E-1 in 2015 as an experiment while keeping my heavy Nikons and then sold them all off earlier this year other than a few prime lenses that I've used with the Sony. I did not buy the top of the line lenses for the 16MP Oly and the quality in daylight with the non-pro lenses up against my D-700 with top of the line glass was comparable except when I pixel peeped at 200% and even then I might have been biased toward my Nikons. The 42MP Sony is amazing but the files are huge. I like that I can make gigantic prints and shoot at a high speed - it was great taking photos of my grandson indoors without a flash right after he was born, but the Olympus lets me take more kit along. I bounced between the two cameras on a trip to the Great Lakes last month and found both were light enough for a couple of hours hiking or touring punctuated by some time in the car or getting a bite to eat, but if I was going to be on my feet all day touring through a European city or wandering around Manhattan, I'd opt for the lighter Olympus, or if I knew I wanted night shots without a tripod or indoors, I'd work in breaks to be sure I gave my back and neck a rest with the Sony. 

 

Now, I had vertigo for two years and am out of shape and never was all that strong to begin with, and I have fibromyalgia to boot, so  you might find the Sony gear is a big enough weight difference for you. It's a tad lighter than my backup D5100 (which I bought in 2011 for a European trip as a backup and to give me a break from lugging my D700 every day - I didn't get the D7100 because the weight was just a tad more than I wanted. I'd just been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia then and had been through a couple of accidents that had taken its toll on my back). I looked at the earlier model Oly mirrorless cameras then and felt they weren't up to par. I have to say the Olympus, which is 16MP like the D5100, is a far superior camera at a fraction of the weight. I can be out for eight hours on my feet with the Olympus and three lenses, including a lightweight zoom,  and I feel fine. I found myself taking the D5100 more over the much better D700 purely for the weight difference, but sometimes regretting the quality difference. When I got the Olympus I only felt the difference shooting at high ISOs - and then more when I had to push a photo because I had under exposed it - or when I used the same Sd card all day or was shooting so constantly that the camera was hot enough to impact quality. I finally realized that's why some night shots were cleaner than others. 

 

If I was buying all new mirrorless kit now, I'd still opt for a Sony full frame ( 25 or 42 MP - I had a hard time deciding between the two) as my high end camera for studio work , when I won't be out all day, and for shooting in low light - I have no issues hiking a couple hours before sunset with it and then capturing shots in low light without a tripod. Then I'd get one of the smaller sensor models as a backup and for when I wanted lighter kit, so they could share lenses.  At this point, I'm keeping both the Oly and the Sony since the Oly is so much lighter, but I hear the low light capability of the E-1 MarkII is an improvement. I'm hoping to tour Italy and Spain next year for a couple of weeks and will probably get a midrange zoom for the Olympus for easy travel - the Sony zooms just seem to put the weight beyond my comfort zone for being out all day.  Still, the bokeh I can get with a full frame is hard to beat and I'll probably want it for night photography. That's why I'd lean toward Sony. 

 

The one big disadvantage of the Sony living in NY as I do is that the screen shuts off when it drops below freezing. Useless for snow pix if it's really cold out. It's much fussier than my workhorse Nikons or the sturdy little Olympus. I'm not sure how people manage those amazing Northern Lights photos with them. I played around with a friend's Canon and found the menus fairly intuitive after years of using a Nikon. The Sony and Olympus menus are both counter-intuitive (I know I'm using the term incorrectly but I think you get the point). 

 

I have wrist straps for both cameras that attach to one side of where the neck strap would go. This makes my neck and back much happier. Then I have Black Rapid cross body straps that attach via the tripod socket, so I can give my hands a rest. Both the wrist and cross body straps can be attached to the camera at once. 

 

Hope this helps.
