Just read the first post through, and you should have everything cleared up for ya :thumbsup:
 
You can pull something from a video as long as:

1. The video was shot during the week that the contest was announced
2. It is your video

Horse won and he used a DVX to shoot it with... It's a lot of fun, and the voting is really simple... You go to the voting, click a score and comment... how is that complicated?
 
Yep. That's it. Thanks for the clarification there Jeremy. I've used my DVX for the first round. And my crummy coolshot Nikon for the last three rounds. I have learned a lot about composition and stuff though, it's been great!

*&%$.

nevermind, i dont win, now i gotta think of something! the clip would have been from like 3 years ago
 
kinda knocks your head for a bit, in wrestling, unless its a powerbomb, it usually hurts the guy doin the move more than it does taking the move. For myself, i called that Flight 821

Ok, back on topic, ill have to do something with my HVX then, sometimes i wish it had some of those consumer level features like the ability to take 5.0mp stills to the SD card or something. oh well. It just sucks that i have to set something up, i like capturing life as it happens with cameras.

Dude, a still frame from the HVX in progressive mode will compete with any high level digital camera, and still provide the opportunity for editing.

Plus, look at it this way... My digital SLR can't take 24 unique frames in a second (hell, I would have to drop $5000 just to get to 5 frames a second)

I cancelled my D80 order so I can get that D200...

I forgot that it offers the 5FPS... I really want full frame, imagine my 10mm Sigma (I'm ordering it next month) in full frame, a true 10mm not a 15mm.

I feel like I'm talking about a Playboy centerfold... When Nikon finally releases a full frame camera we're talking at least $4000... and that's way out of my price range. The D200 it is... in three months.
 
I want a D50 :( been posted in the market place for a while that i WTB, but it must be a decent cam if no one is selling

I keep debating on whether I am selling mine when I get the 200 or whether I am going to keep it and just use it as a secondary camera so I don't need to change lenses all the time

It's a great camera and Overstock.com had the refurbished ones for like $450 a month or three ago...

I'm a big Nikon fan although with Canon you can get more MP's and glass per dollar, but I still prefer Nikon (this is not going to turn into a Canon/Nikon thread).

Ultimately, and for as much as I dislike him, Ken Rockwell makes a great point, the camera doesn't matter, it is the shooter. I say it's not the arrows its the indian... but a great example is look at some of Joey Lawrences stuff... all on a cheap point and shoot camera. On the other end, look at Scharky or Kprince's stuff, both using D-SLR's and both have an amazing eye and with good gear and glass they come up with amazing images. Is one better than the other because of the gear? I think that all three of these people I named are amazing artists and could create an amazing photograph with a disposible kodak, they just use tools to aid them in getting the job done rather than allowing their tools to limit them.

I want the D200 but there are certain things with the camera that could limit me because I'm not there yet... I hope to grow into it though :)

That being said, I really believe, and I think we should make this a one off contest, that we should do a cell phone camera contest, just to see how tools can hold us back rather than allowing us to move forward.

Too many words for this late at night.
