Listing your camera model...

This shows that the big producers can use any format and make it work. It will be interesting to see how many clips actually made it. I saw a preview at the theater last week, looks like action packed and probably a lot of fast transition in and out of scenes and clips.

I always listen my models even though they are "tourist cams". That increases trust in microstock and therefore is good for the whole business.

Besides, considering the prices we are usually selling for there cannot be any obligation to buy a 5000 dollar cam just for stock. Small cams have their own advantages as you can shoot in situation or locations where big cams would be a problem (weight, handling, angles, security...).

ya'll need to list the camera on the keyword listing. It will not hurt sales unless quality of clip is bad. Like Jason said, look at what Dreamworks bought, a real mix of formats and cameras.

Now I want to see this movie and see where these clips were used :-). Good job to everyone who had their clips sell on there.

I will continue to place my model in the description. Someitmes I have seen people just put like 'sony' or 'canon' not the full model

Producers really need to see what the model of the camera is. I believe most buyers who see only a brand name will automatically assume the camera is the lowest quality camera in that brand. Some producers do have a minimum requirement of footage quality such as 3 chip, HD, CMOS etc etc. Without this information they may skip buying your clip if in doubt. If they really need a particular clip and they know ahead of time that the camera was an old single chip sensor they may decide to take a chance. It's not unusual for a buyer to buy several clips at one time. If they have to guess or are disappointed then they may not come back next time. Remember the preview or low quality comp clip the buyer sees is really poor quality. The actual footage is usually much better in it's full size download. On lower quality cameras, the preview may be as good as it gets, that's not a good thing.

Good point Don. The location of where a clip was taken is another area where many leave out.

Ahhhh....

I see it's the usual suspects around here. Nice to see you, Don, Stefgo, Hans and all. I for one have no problem advising potential clients as to what camera my clips are shot with. Savvy producers are aware of camera capabilities, but a lot has to do with the shooter. The more information we provide, the better the choice the end user has.

Welcome Francois, glad ya finally got here!. You'll make 2-3 times more here than the other place with same clips. Great to see ya,
Don

Sony DCR TRV900E and underwater housing,
I'm going to take an HD one.
I think it will be a Canon this time.
