I read somewhere that since the digital cameras use shorter lenses (starting
around 6mm, I think), their depth of field is MUCH greater.
Unless one is doing macro work, this would seem to be a big disadvantage to me
since using depth of field obviously gives you a tremendous creative tool for
isolating subjects etc...
Can anyone comment on the depth of field differences between digital and film?
On the positive side, the one picture I saw of the 2500 (on John's web site)
looks like Olympus may finally give us a digital tool that looks and possibly
feels much more like a solid modern day OM setup. Does anyone know if there is
a web site with more info on that new camera? Has anyone even used it?
Thanks a lot
