It it legal to use two diferant cameras in the composition of a photo under expert editing? assuming correct dates etc.

Probably is it just feels funny

I think you're right ... as long as all of the originals from which you compose the image are taken legally (by you) within the proper dates, have valid EXIF data, and are available to upload for validation it should be fine.

It will be interesting to see if there's any noticable difference, like in the color balance or something.

I can't imagine it not being legal.

what if one of the camera took the shot in korea, while the other camera took a shot in australia? will sc ask us to provide plane ticket as proof for validation? :p

No, you don't have to actually press the shutter. But you do have to set up the shot. I guess you could do this via video conferencing, so a 6 digit phone bill will probably suffice as proof. :) If you skype it, you have no proof, so you take a risk there.

Your camera's EXIF data has GPS? rofl

Just because it looks like Korea (or wherever) dosen't mean it is Korea.

You could have a photo combing shots of the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower, taken on the same day - in Las Vegas! lol (Just takes the right angle and cropping)

Per the first group in the rules statement, I would say "check with the SC in advance" applies. Watch out for the international date line.
Hope it works for you.

So the real question is which camera should I tell the site I took the photos with.

The Background or the foreground /insert/s ?

but seriously, maybe the sc would ponder a bit on this issue here.
it may not be a problem now, but imagine the possibilities of abuse here if photographs from 2 different cameras (or more) are allowed for expert-editing. is a new rule needed to tackle possible misuse?

edit: thanks Robert for pointing out my mistake. expert instead of advanced.

Im not realy sure what abuse you could do, in fact the only benifit I can see in having 2 camera is a matrix style triptych sequence of different angles of the same unrepeatable event. ( that does however sound like a ribbon winner) or what Im doing which is harmless, trust me...

So I guess we will know for sure soon :)
