Thats right Jens, nobody said digital per se was the cause but rather
the sensor size, and i particular the APS sensor of the *ist and other
digitals (there are only 2 full-frame dititals on the market so for the
purposes of the current discusi�n digital currently means APS or
smaller). Its only real relevance to real world shooting is for
ocassions when you want a shallow DOF such as with portraiture.

True. I reagerd to DOF, the *ist D is an APS (size) camera. I mean,
there
are 35mm (full frame) digital cameras out there as well. They have the
same
DOF as any previously made 35 mm kamera.
Conclusion: The differences lie elswhere. Different formats have
different
DOF. Digital or film - doesn't influence DOF at all. End of story.
All the best

Well it is relevant is so far as the discussion was looking at the
merits and demerits of the *istD vis-a-vis a 35mm film system.

DOF is determined solely by the reproduction ratio of the image size
to the subject size and aperture used. All else is irrelevant.

Not true. The difference has absolutely nothing to do with digital or
film. I se no reason at all why the recording media should have any
impact on DOF. It's simply because of the format. That's all. So, you
could just say: DOF is greater for APS cameras (or just smaller
formats). Everybody and his mother knows that!

Huh?
I am pretty sure I have a handle on depth of field.

Primarily for William Robb, but usefull for anyone else grapling
with
this issue.
"I expected the depth of field in digital cameras to be
significantly
greater than that in 35 mm models. Everybody and his mother knows
that.
What I didn't expect, is how large the difference is."
