    Uhm, what if I don't want to export such a large file for others to use?

    Also who retains the rights to the image after submission?

    @balls187: I'm looking in to some automatic creative commons licensing thing. Technically, all of Giz is CC, so that protection probably applies to you as well. But like I said, formalizing it is a priority.

    @jason51873: I know reading can be tough for a elementary school drop out, so I'll cut you some slack. I was referring to this "ALSO, AND THIS IS NEW FOR THIS WEEK, ATTACH A 2560x1600 JPEG AS WELL FOR PEOPLE TO DOWNLOAD AS WALLPAPER."

    And, no, not every shot I've taken was National Geographic worthy, just the one I took of your moms hairy back. It landed me the front cover of their special on the Missing Link.

    @Mark Wilson: Hmm, wouldn't submitting an image for the contest be a sort of implicit agreement to displaying it on the site and for people to use it as wallpapers, but no more? A gentleman's agreement sort of thing. I don't expect Giz to wish us to relinquish our copyright at any rate.
    Anyway, IANAL so this is just so much late night speculation.

    @duck: Tough to enforce a "gentleman's agreement" in court.

    So many people are ignorant of copyrights and are so quick to give away their creative work just for something as meaningless as 10k viewers.

    Just because I enter a contest, doesn't mean I want my image spammed across the internets, and double goes for letting dumbshits like @branchan and @Phillip Han use them as backgrounds.

    Well, Mr. Wilson, I'm flattered you want to hug me so much, but alas, we are on different sides of the continent.

    These images, however, are beautiful.

    In reply to New Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware to Pack 60fps HD
    This is where I am slightly confused (read very). I know that 60fps in a game is extremely smooth. I also know that movies in the theatre are done at 24fps which gives them a great feel visually. Home HDTV's support 24fps now. And almost all of our dig cams do 30fps....so, if you record at 60FPS, wouldn't the image start to look slower, not just smoother? I mean at what point does the image change from looking normal to moving in slow motion? I'm guessing not at 60fps..lol. In any case, how would this allow for "half-speed" motion? I'm missing something here obviously.

    @CommentingpointlesslyisMeh: The faster the framerate, the smoother the motion. Slow motion (or fast motion) is produced by playing back the video at a different rate from what it was recorded at. If I have a video recorded at 60fps, and I play it back at 60fps, it will be at normal speed (and look nice and silky smooth). If I take that same video and play it back at 30fps, it will appear to be in slow motion (half speed).

    @burningsensation: @darthlambchop: @PiltdownMan:

    All great replies. that had really been annoying me. I do understand now. So if something is recorded at 30fps but played back on a 60hz screen then frames are added in between which makes things look a bit smoother but doesn't change speed of video. On the other hand, take a 1000 fps water drop and play it at 60hz and it looks super slo mo. I think I get it now. Thanks all!

    In reply to New Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware to Pack 60fps HD
    Photography/videography question here (I'm currently learning, so excuse my ignorance):
    - I'm looking for something that can take videos with very small/shallow depth of field which can be manually and smoothly controlled (dramatic effect). Stuff that the Canon 5D Mark II and apparently the 7D can also do, as seen on these Florent Porta videos:
    [xspblog.com]
    [xspblog.com]

    Are dSLRs the cheapest way to go?
    Considering I'm also interested in testing (in the probably distant future) the effects of different lens types on video (and stuff like tilt-shift), unless there's a very cheap camcorder alternative, I'm thinking of selling my Canon XSi to get a 5D Mark II or 7D.

    If they can maintain the same bitrate, this would be a very interesting development.

    It looks like they accidentally sent you the inside out version of the camera. All the letters are backwards. Silly Nikon.

    Also if you like big check a D700 with the grip on it. Even bulkier.
