Why should he mention depth of field? Two out of the three "compact" cameras he mentions having are equipped with APS-C sensors, which, while smaller than 35mm, are still plenty large for most uses. They're used in DSLRs too. The third one is a Micro 4/3 sensor, which is just a little bit smaller compared to the APS-C. And then you have for example the Leica M8 & M9, both with large sensors. They're not DSLRs either.
- RexRollman 13y agoI thought depth of field had more to do with the lense than the sensors.
- coldtea 13y agoIt has to do with both. A smaller sensor acts as a magnifier, so if you use say a f2 lens, you get the equivalent of using a f4 depth of field (less narrow, that is).
- ScottBurson 13y agoYes, there seems to be some confusion here. Wikipedia[0] has a good explanation of depth of field. It's not the same as angle of view, which is what it seems to be getting confused with here. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field
