Excellent explanation of the relationship between DOF, FOV and sensor size.

Beat me up all you want but lets face it, half of the people getting into photography,film, AP,AV buy their equipment based on trends. The 5d being the most common thing out there. I admit I learned a few things watching this and certainly don't claim to be a camera guru. But we should all step back and really learn what is going on before we let our equipment determine our experience. This is becoming a quickly saturated hobby and there will be more and more people asking the same questions and copying the few tried and true formats to call themselves professionals the second their rig gets airborne. Most of us on here, myself included, have a lot to learn before we can call ourselves photographers or videographers. Flying a camera does not mean we know everything a real camera man knows. I'm done ranting.

Here is a very helpful video explaining some commonly misunderstood facts about DOF, FOV and Sensor sizes.

Go it on the desktop. Thanks!

This has been happening a lot on my iPad for some reason - the youtube videos have a link where the actual embed should be, after a blank space where everyone else sees the video player. But the vimeo doesn't show anything. Really annoying - and new. So much for progress...

Great straight shooting, no-nonsense video. I wish this guy had a video for every topic I have a question on!

Yeah he did a great job explaining this in a way that's easy to visualize. There should be some good stuff out there on YT, it just takes some sorting through.
