The Quality Control (QC) team see images from a vast range of digital cameras. In our recent Alamy Recommended Digital Camera List blog we listed our recommended cameras. We have now compiled a list of cameras which will never produce images of the required standard to pass QC.

Images from compact cameras, bridge cameras and DSLR's under 6 megapixels will show considerable deterioration when upsized to 48mb. This is due to their lower pixel count, poor optics, smaller sensor size and outdated processing.

Contributors who try to submit images from these cameras will fail QC. This will be for reasons such as interpolation artefacts, soft and lacking definition, noise etc.


If your camera does not feature on this list please do not assume that it will be up to Alamy's QC standard. Please see our Alamy Recommended Digital Camera List and remember cameras need to be used at their optimum settings and the images carefully processed using professional image software.

Please also note that Alamy does not accept any images from mobile phone cameras.
