I am presuming that the stock agency is referring to the image size
when converted to TIFF from RAW? There is a difference in the actual
RAW (which is a lossless compression algorithm) file size and when,
for example, the file is opened in Photoshop. A RAW shot from my 6
megapixel D60 is 8.86 megabytes; converted to TIFF and opened in
Photoshop it becomes 18.0 megabytes. Just squeaks by. This is what
the stock agency is referring to, I gather? It seems their
requirements mandate a 6 megapixel or larger camera.
So, while the E-1 is still a very nice camera, IMHO, it basically is
two years too late to market.
