Somebody, now or in the future, final client or agency, might decide to batch discard images produced by Sony DSC-something cameras or not to accept them. Being unfortunately sold as DSC the name might imply it belongs to the "amateurial" range produced by Sony. The camera is perfectly capable of professional quality images, and my images are accepted at various agencies. This is a very particular camera, with a Carl Zeiss fixed lens of extremely high quality, which is due to the fact that the lens is fixed (the last lens arrives at 2 millimetres from the sensor, it is not a retrofocus scheme). My digital work is done with a Sony DSC-R1 camera. I routinely strip metadata from images I send to stock agencies. There can be very good and legitimate reasons to want to strip EXIF metadata. If people work free for us, let at least their work to be known.

Frankly as the product he would be - in case - advertising is a free and useful one (I already knew and use it) I think that advertising would be a good service to the community anyway.
