DSLR Depth of field. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems () I'm considering buying a DSLR, cheaply. This would mean a not-quite current model. Someone mentioned that because the image sensor is smaller than 35mm film, the depth of field...

when the lens is used on a DSLR with a 1.6x magnification factor? If I have a depth of field of three metres to infinity using a 50mm lens on a film SLR and I put it on a DSLR, does the DSLR still have a depth of field of three metres to infinity or...

lose an f/stop since it is a slower lens (and given it is a consumer lens, it might be soft wide open, which means losing even more stops of light). Note that in a DSLR, the depth of field is much smaller than on a prosumer camera like the C-2100UZ, so...

This led to small depth of field. The guy in front of me had a camcorder. He seemed to have lots of light and wide depth of field. How does the camcorder get more light and depth of field than a DSLR in such a situation?. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital...

Equivalent focal lengths. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems () I currently have a Nikon 35mm SLR, so when I get a digital SLR, it will also be a Nikon so I can interchange the lenses between the cameras. I'm pretty much settled on the...

key to depth of field. (well, that and/or manual mode). IMO slr's always, and I use "always" loosely, offer more control over the image than digicams. They key to dof (depth of field) is being able to control the aperture of the lens. I don't know of...
