Do all photos have to be sent in full frame to get in all Magazines?

I was just reading one of the forums called Opinion about buying a Nikon or Canon. I found the whole 8 pages great, but one comment really peaked my curiosity. One of the members had made a comment about how when he had tried to get some of his photos in a particular magazine once that he felt all of his 200 shots were rejected because they had only wanted images taken with full-frame DSLRs or film. He didnt say but I assume that since then he has sent all in full frame. That made me wonder if anyone (or everyone) had this same kind of experience or does anyone have any comments about this one way or other? And if this is the way it always is does anyone think with all the newer smaller DSLRs that this will change. Let me add that I am very new to DSLR photography, DSLR cameras and this forum. Just curious.

I've had photos used by magazines that were taken with a Nikon D200, not a full-frame camera, and some with a D700 which is a full-frame. I've never been told "full-frame only".
This directory cover was taken with an D1x, also not full-frame.
But maybe it depends upon the magazine.

People devise all sorts of reasons why their pics were rejected, but in this case (having contributed to and edited magazines) my guess is that 200 pictures were simply FAR too many, so the editor glanced at a few; found them lacking; and sent the lot back. Format doesn't matter a toss, but quality does. Anyone who would send 200 pics to a magazine is shaky on how magazines work and quite possibly equally shaky on what quality means.

My niece has been published in several different magazines and she used a Nikon D40 so I would say no, it doesnt have to be full frame. Some magazines still will not take anything digital but they are far and few between.

National Geographic and Arizona Highways have very tight requirements and full frame meets them. But Highways, I think still wants 4x5 file or larger.
Check with the magazine first.
However, if you have full frame you won't have to worry about it.

I can't say what any particular magazine requires, BUT I have had 12 or so images used in magazines and articles and a couple travel guides that were taken with both a Canon 50D and a Pentax *IST/DL. I don't know if the EXIF date is required, I have only been asked to provide data once.
Hope that helps
