DC is designed for a cropped sensor.

DG is designed for a full frame sensor.

No, my first reply may have been misleading. DG is designed for a full frame but the sigmalux will also fit on the XSI.
DG will fit all current DSLR's as well. As for FOV, you can do some research on that here..

Yep

DG just refers to some special coatings on the glass because digital sensors are reflective, film is not, Theoretically this means that you could end up with some funky reflections without them...

And the 50 is a great lens on a crop for a lot of things
