It has to do with the sensor size.An easy example are P&S cameras. Most of the lenses on them are f/2.8, but the DOF wont be the same at the same focal length as with lets say a Canon.
That's rightIf I'm not mistaken, I think with a larger sensor you will get a thinner depth of field. But for light gathering purposes, they all mean the same thing and will generally yield the same shutter speed for the same amount of light at the same ISO.
YEa sorry, fixed itIt has to do with the sensor size.An easy example are P&S cameras. Most of the lenses on them are f/2.8, but the DOF wont be the same at the same focal length as with lets say a Canon.
Sorry for the double post, but Canon makes point and shoots, lol. I think your meaning to say an SLR.
I have heard that with the 4/3's system, a 2.8f stop is not the same as a cannon or a nikon. Is this true? If so, can you tell me what a 4/3's 2.8f is equivalent to in cannon or nikon?
The following variables affect DOF:
Angle of view
Subject to camera
Camera to background
Aperture
Sensor size affects the above variables in different ways in order to get the same shot.
