Support as nominator -- 99of9 (talk) 11:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)- Support This is cool. -- JovanCormac 12:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Oppose ce n'est pas assez exclusive. -- Autofan45 (talk) 17:43, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Info As far as I know it is the only animated gif flag on commons that was not computer generated. --99of9 (talk) 20:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Too few frames, could have been much smoother. /Daniel78 (talk) 19:11, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- And much heavier, and not possible due to the FPS limit on most DSLRs. Diti the penguin — 22:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how valid a defense that is. My DSLR has a full-fledged video mode, as do many currently on the market. Point-and-shoots have had that sort of capability for more than half a decade, too. —Notyourbroom (talk) 01:51, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yours may do, but what about people like me, who buy standard DSLRs from Nikon (D40) or Canon (450D)? This category of DSLRs is the most common, and not every people is willing to buy every new camera that comes to the market. Diti the penguin — 13:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Whatever the reason it does not make this look any smoother. /Daniel78 (talk) 18:25, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- I do not know what you mean by "standard" DSLRs; Nikon sells DSLRs at several price points with video recording capability, including the Nikon D5000, Nikon D90, Nikon D300S, and Nikon D3S. I'm not as familiar with Canon's models, but my point is that video recording capability is not unusual at all in modern cameras. It's certainly not restricted to high-end models. —Notyourbroom (talk) 04:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose I would think a video would have been much a better medium to illustrate this through; Commons is a repository of video as well as images, after all. —Notyourbroom (talk) 01:49, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment I chose the format in preference to video because I believe it will be more widely used than a video equivalent. IMO usefullness is easily as important as frames per second. Not all movies can be squashed into 256 colours, but flags are great candidates. 99of9 (talk) 02:46, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
- Support Cool :-) --Phyrexian (talk) 16:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose a monster on graphics card. If you put three or four of these on a page your browser would freeze. ~ R.T.G 00:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
- Comment I know it's going to fail anyway, but I don't think this is a fair oppose reason. I made the image 2000x2000 to give users as much flexibility as possible, they are always welcome to downscale as much as they want. The rules say not to downsample. --99of9 (talk) 11:10, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
