are there any other services like istock for good inexpensive stock photos?

you're gonna get what you pay for by going 'cheap'...
... there's http://www.photos.com which has a decent subscription rate - but the photos are rejects of higher-priced stuff... and you'll start to see the same photos ALL OVER the place in cheap Ads in the back of magazines etc...

nothing like seeing the same lame stock photos on 20 different designers sites in different contexts.

Nothing like being in a time crunch, not having the budget to outsource a photographer or buy a legitimate camera and lighting setup and invest 3+ hours into a photo so you can get something turned in.

nothing like cheapo clients, they figure why pay 500 squid when i can pay 1 squid, cant blame them really.
equally as cheap, equally as shite.

try looking on flickr and if you find the right shot, get in touch with the photographer and see if they will license the image ... ?
