why not? just do a batch post-process crop. :bsmilie:AJ23 said:I want a FF cam, w/1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x crop. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

erm same, but just that with a FF you got more area around the blurred area which makes it looks like the sharp area occupied a smaller amount of space from a picturevince123123 said:Hmm, does DOF change from a FF cam to a Cropped cam? It should remain the same isn't it?

fWord said:In an extreme scenario, we can compare small, fixed-lens compacts with a FF DSLR. Photos from compacts demonstrate huge DOF at any aperture because the lens itself is very small...focal length is perhaps 5.4mm to 16.7mm, or something like that. Because the 'crop' factor on the compact cam is probably 6X or more, it will still yield the FOV of a 35-105mm lens.
Compare this to a FF DSLR or film camera when you'll need a 'true' 35-105mm lens. DOF is decreased when focal length is increased. Assuming we stand at the same distance from the subject and get the same subject size, the DOF from a FF will be less.
Maybe it's confusing because I can't explain things well. But to put things shortly, you will probably get better DOF control on a camera with a bigger sensor because you'll need a longer focal length lens to get the same FOV.

Hmmmm total contradiction ya.. If you upgraded to a canon dSLR it'd make more sense...lastboltnut said:I like the shallower DOF possible on the FF cam In fact it is the main reason why I upgreaded from my S3 IS to D80...
but why would anyone want to compare the DOF of a cropped sensor 28mm (35mm equivilant) lens against a FF 18mm POV? It only make sense to compare against direct equivilants.ExplorerZ said:den it will be what i said... if the same lens/focal length was used on a FF and cropped.
the FF will basically have the extra pixel at the edge which is actually cropped by a crop sensor camera(normally blurred due to DOF)
eh yup, but this was what he was askingunseen said:but why would anyone want to compare the DOF of a cropped sensor 28mm (35mm equivilant) lens against a FF 18mm POV? It only make sense to compare against direct equivilants.
Following the throw of argument, you're comparing DOF of (actual lenses) 18mm vs 28mm, or 50mm vs 75mm, or 100mm vs 150mm.. FF you'll definitely have a shallower DOF.
Hmm I get your point of view, I was assuming that the exact same lens was used since the original poster said he changed his camera from a cropped one to a FF to get shallower DOF - again based on the assumption that the same lens was used.
