With over 3 million images, Shutterstock has the biggest inventory of images for designers with a subscription-based program instead of the typical pay-per-image option of most other sites. Great value for money if you download many images per month.

For photographers, it's one of the most lucrative of all the sites and the forums are quite active and helpful.

IstockPhoto was the instigator of the microstock photography movement. They have over 3 million images and work on a pay-per-image concept. Great for designers looking for exclusive content as they have many exclusive contributors.

Not being an exclusive member (selling your images only on Istock) can create some frustration with small weekly upload limits and time-consuming uploading and keywording systems. It's still one of the top income generators so well worth uploading your images to.

Fotolia also ranks in the top 3 for image content for designers with over 3 million images. It's a pay-per-image concept. And has grown quite fast due to photographer upload incentives.

Fotolia brings good income to photographers and is in the top 5 for making money. Their upload features are very user-friendly.

With just over 2 million images, Dreamstime ranks in the top 5. For designers, it has the most generous free image section on the Web.

It's also in the top 5 for photographer income. It's a friendly community and well worth investing the time for extra income.

StockExpert's image bank is growing daily and visibility has increased since its acquisition by JupiterImages.

For photographers, it's #5 in terms of income and has an easy uploading interface.

BigStockPhoto is close on Dreamstime's heals in terms of available images for purchase so it's a good spot for designers.

It doesn't rank it the top 5 income generators for the moment. Sales have increased in 2006 making it 6th on the list. So if you have time to upload to more than 5 sites, BigStock should be next on your list.

With over 500 thousand images, 123RF is carving its place among the microstock leaders on the Web. It offers both per image and subscription downloads.

It still has to work on advertizing to draw in more clients. Photographer income is roughly 30% of Dreamstime or Fololia.

Featurepics looks like a promising venue for both photographers and buyers. Photographers can set their own image prices which give them better control over higher selling photographs.

Designers might find some images at a discount compared to other microstock sites since some contributors might choose to sell some images at a discount.

Crestock is a promising up and coming agency with a beautiful layout and innovative features that bigger agencies should look at to improve. It's a joy for both designers and photographers.

With over 300 000 images, CanStock has been around for a while but has yet to get the visibility it should for the amount of images available.

Photographers might get discouraged due to slow sales.
