Alamy (stock photography) hearts Cell Phone and Compact Camera images

Once upon a time stock photography agencies were giving photographers using serious even professional-caliber DSLRs a hard time because their camera did not have enough megapixels or they did not have a big enough sensor. Well, the times are changing...

Alamy, a stock photography agency, is now accepting images from mobile devices (cell phones and the like) along with compact digital cameras for their "Live News" service.

So yes, you, tablet photographer, you can now make money on Alamy! Ignore the ridicule, and keep clicking away with those iPads and Nexuses and GalaxyTabs and Xooms and Transformers!
