Do the stock houses only accept RAW?
I thought they'd take TIFF too?
I'd think that with the minimal compression on the highest quality, highest res jpg, you should be able to convert to TIFF, and it would be acceptable.
the last time we had one of our photographer friends "crunch" the numbers, the JPG to TIFF conversion didn't add up. It does seem a bit wacked to me that the focus is so much on file size, which does not directly correlate to resolution.
Every once in a while my wife and I take a photo that seems worthy of submission but I"m leery of investing so much more time and money and hassle to have a large enough file size. If we do make the jump, the 40D is what everyone is pointing us to, but it's probably way more than we need.
