Does anyone know why Canon has dropped the depth mode from their digital SLRs? One of the annoyances of my 10D is that it is hobbled with the useless auto-depth mode, rather than the full manual depth system of my old 100, which was one of the reasons I originally bought into the Canon system. I just looked to see what they've put on the 5D, and the answer is nothing at all. Is the theory that you don't need it because you can check the image after you've taken it? Seems a retrograde step if so, since you need to know not only what aperture to select but where in the scene to focus, could take a lot of trial and error... I wonder whether they could firmware update the 10D to give it full manual depth mode?
