Like many folks on here I've had some images requested by Getty Images on Flickr and even made some coffee money for my trouble. I know a few years ago Getty accepted Leica X1 images but I've heard little about other compacts beyond that. My research has yielded something as vague as this release:
…but this would mean many 1/1.7" sensors might qualify - well some 16mp models are 'better' than my old Nikon D700 which has been my most 'profitable' camera.
(Also explains why my film scans never make it ….)
Again, it's not a fortune but there's a small bonus in these 'sales' and so I wonder where the lines of diminishing returns begins.
tiny - iPhone, Nokia Lumia 1020,
really small - 1/7" - e.g., XZ2, G16, EX2
small - 1" - e.g., RX100, Nikon 1
getting bigger - mu43 - e.g., mu43
a little bigger plus an iota - 1.5" - G1X, G1Xii
midling - APS-C - GR, Coolpix A, NEX, Fuji X100/XPro/XE/etc.
From my experience:
My smallest sensor that's sold has been full-frame (D700), my smallest sensor accepted has been APS-C (K5), my smallest sensor invited has been mu43 (EP3).

http://contributors.gettyimages.com/img/articles/downloads/submission_req_one_page.pdfFINAL JPEG SUBMISSION
All final Hi-Res Image Files must now be submitted as JPEGs as follows: • Firstly produce your TIFF master to the specification below:
File Format: Size:
Colour Space: Quality:
Uncompressed TIFF, with .tif extension added at the end of the file name 47.5-52MB 300 PPI (flattened, with no layers, paths or channels)
24 bit RGB Colour, 8 bits per channel (8 bit file)
Digital Capture from approved camera ideally shooting RAW and convert to TIFF file using recommended software (Capture One, Photoshop CSRAW, Aperture etc). Or drum scan of analog film or scan from approved professional equivalent (Imacon)
• Perform any retouching to remove logos, dust etc (see below). If using IPTC or XMP to supply metadata, please add data to the TIFF file before conversion to JPEG.
• Next open your TIFF master in Photoshop, then save as a JPEG by selecting File > Save As, then JPEG (or JPG) and Quality 12 (maximum). For more help about how to save your images as JPEGs which meet our current submission requirements click here
• As an option you can check your JPEGs meet our file requirements by running your files through the latest version of Preflight. Click here for more information.
• Finally submit the JPEG to us, without any further processing or compression.
