Yes. And no.

If everything is kept identical then full frame has a larger DOF because there is less enlargement of the image. Note that most DOF calculations are based on the assumption that you will print the image at 8x10 and view the image from a "normal" viewing distance.

The no part is because 105mm will give a wider field of view on a full frame camera which changes the composition. In order to have the same composition you would zoom the full frame camera to 165mm, and that change of focal length will give the full frame image a much more narrow DOF.

Thanks for the explanation. When I take the calculations listed in my post and adjust the crop to be at the equivalent of 65mm, I see the DOF is about 1ft, vs the .6ft when using a full frame at 105mm.

33rd shot I get slow down.

I got 16 out before it started slowing down on a Sandisk Extreme 60MB's UDMA CF card

I'm bursting 32 shots raw with a 400x card...

At 6fps or 3fps?

Good question. What type of performance are you getting?

That's the same card I got. I don't know why it gets so far. You have more than one card? I only have the CF, I have a SDHC Extreme HD coming.

Ahh, I was shooting 3FPS, at 6FPS I get 21. I thought it I had it at 6FPS.

all three processed with .CR2s -> .DNGs then into LR4 using the new engine and then processed with my usual workflow in CS:PS5.5... I DID try CR2s in ACR6.7 and the old LR engine, both looked like crap -vs- the list I used...

Two people with the 60 mb/sec sandisk extremes getting 16 frames one getting 21 frames. Anyone else?

shooting my first sunrise tomorrow with it, excited for that... I do have a question though, how do you setup the AF so it'll track something across a frame, and pass the AF from one sensor to another as it goes? IE start on the left side and end in the right? I tried a bunch of the different situations and tried to even tweak them bumping the last adjustment to the right, but I never saw the AF point in use shift. I'm SURE it's something I'm not doing, but I have no idea what. I'll be consulting the manual but I'd love some help if anyone here knows. Thanks!

I haven't had to do that yet, but with the 7D, I had to allow all points. (Zone worked, but it would only track in the zone). It should do it automatically from there, but you can change settings to tell it to not lose tracking easily if something comes in front, or you can tell it to prefer to switch targets quickly.

I have the 60mb "extreme" 16gb CF and the 45mb "extreme pro" 8gb SD. I'll compare both tomorrow.

Are you doing RAW+JPG? That will slow it down as well. I am doing RAW only to one card. I am curious to see how well it does when I add a second card. The problem is the second card SDHC is so much slower than the CF, I don't think RAW/RAW will be a good idea. Even the fastest SDHC cards are dog slow.

yeah, I tried "all points" but couldn't get it to go. Granted I was using a stationary camera and moving the camera..... so maybe it's too smart for that? I'm hoping to try on some birds and or surfers tomorrow.

I just turned on all points, locked on to an object and just moved my camera, in zone I can see it follow it for that zone. In all it followed it till it left the frame. I am using Case 1 which is the general overall one.
