Just wondering if anyone knows of a better paying Stock Photography website than Can Stock Photo (http://www.canstockphoto.com?r=513)? By better paying I mean pays the best commissions to Stock Photographers themselves Canstocks commisions are as follows.

Retail Return
Small $1.50 $0.50 (33%)
Medium $3.00 $1.75 (58%)
Large $4.50 $3.00 (67%)

Retail Return
Small $3.00 $1.00 (33%)
Medium$4.25 $2.50 (59%)
Large $6.00 $4.00 (67%)

Compare this with Istock's (http://www.istockphoto.com/) commission structure which is not that great for Photographers (But it is cheapest for designers to download).

Retail Return
Small $0.50 $0.10
Medium $1.00 $0.20
Large $1.50 $0.30

As you can see the return for photographers is ten times more on Can Stock Photo (http://www.canstockphoto.com?r=513). Does anyone know of any other Stock Photo sites that pay better than this?

By the way My Istock Portfolio can be seen here (http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=360977), and this is my Canstock Photo Portfolio (http://www.canstockphoto.com/search.php?mem=513&r=513).

Interesting, however in the top 10 the number one sales is listed at having 15 sales, considering the cash out is a minimum of $100, no one has yet made that amount! Do you know how long they have been running?

I would be more concerned about getting on a site that actually manages to get some sales! It woud be interesting to see how the others fare.

Cool idea though!
