A good list but don’t forget free trials too though – a good way to get pro-standard content in bulk.
The most well known one is http://depositphotos.com/ but there is also now a good one at http://www.ingimage.com – it started in February I think.

I agree, it’s indeed a headache to look for photos to be used in blogs or websites but since the time that I found a good resource and then I signed up to http://www.kozzi.com. Works became lighter and I don’t have headaches anymore because a lot of photos that I would like to used is all in this site. And aside from that kozzi’s photos are indeed of very high quality and it’s also free to download.
