The article states "However, Getty Images remains tight-lipped over the news. It has so far declined to comment on the report, despite repeated requests lodged by AP over the past few weeks." The probable reason for declining to comment is that Getty Images *does not* restrict its interest only to images that have been shot on the cameras on its recommended list.

Of course not, but between the sensor, the fixed prime lens, the metal body, and the price, it ain't your typical compact either. More worrying is to find that Getty Images has that weird "camera" criterion. -- Bertrand |
