LuckyOliver coined the term midstock 4 months ago as a way to differentiate our offering and drive the industry forward. Midstock will not be replaced by microstock... this is where the industry is headed. Another point to remember is that microstock, midstock and macrostock are not price points- they're business models that have different ways of selling at price points.

Aside from the web site not actually working properly, the images I saw, priced as Mid-Stock were no better and in many cases inferior to the quality I've seen at the MicroStock Agencies. If that is all PunchStock and its partners can offer at those prices, I fear that Mid-Stock and probably Macro-Stock will be completely replaced by MicroStock in the fullness of time. These observation relate only to RF images of course. I had a look at Punchstock, just out of interest.
