    PR is mentioned to notify that a source can be trusted. I prefer bigstock - they offer good pics at good prices

    I have had good success with Dreamstime. They offer a lot of photos free. I am surprised it wasn't mentioned above. Although after reading this thread I am going to be sure to check out some of the other sites mentioned.

    I'm using istockphoto too and am very pleased with them so far. They've increased their prices since when I first started using them, but the photo collection is decent and overall I'm pleased with it.

    Do NOT use istockphoto or Fotolia - they pay their contributors the lowest commissions of all the microstock sites (as low as 15% - ugh). Their images aren't any cheaper than places like shutterstock or dreamstime, yet they are greedy bastards and keep more of the royalties for themselves.

    I like Dreamstime too. I usually check sxc.hu first though to see if there's a free picture that I can use.

    Looks like istockphoto and fotolia are the most recommended. I also highly suggest these two awesome resources.

    GraphicLeftovers.com – Stock agency oriented mostly at Stock Graphics and thus if you are looking for graphics / illustrations rather than for photos it is a good place to start at.

    YAYmicro.com - Smaller agency but with good variety of images to choose from. There is also a coupon for 20% off the first purchase. Bonus code is: DISCOUNT20
