I came across LuckyOliver - very spiffy interface. They use "tokens" instead of "credits", you get 10 tokens for $10. Also, they are a lot more generous with their image resolutions for the price. The small sizes(2 tokens) are around 850x560 and the medium size sizes (3 tokens) are around 1600x1200, Very timely post, I decided to look into alternative options for stock photos today because of istockphoto’s pricing.

The one-credit images were once large enough to be far more useful (ie. if only part of the image is going to be used) It doesn't make it a bad site, it's still extremely useful but it won't be my main, or only, port of call moving forward.

The smallest files are still 1 credit each and the price per credit is still $1.30 to $.97. The price for blog images hasn’t changed a penny.

We’re a young but fast-growing microstock site with images priced from $1 to $50. We have a clean and friendly website, with a simple purchase process (no credit packs!), one price for all file sizes and of course, snappyness! Our contributing photographers are allowed to price their own pictures – a feature that they just love and that encourages them to give us pictures they don’t give other microstock sites, which is great for Buyers! We’re only selling in the USA right now, but plan to sell internationally really soon. Feel free to email me if you want to know more about us. Hope to see you around the Village soon!

Have been using stock.xchng a bit and that's handy. Have the prices gone up by much? We use iStock for photos in work and, to be honest, I hadn’t heard about the increase until you flagged it.
