Agreed. For somethings, like landscapes, the extra DOF is a blessing, but for other subjects - not so much.

Which is why I'm keeping my 5d for now. For much of my shooting m4/3 is perfect but when I want a shot like this, I'll use FF......

I don't know what you gain in this photo by blurring the background so much. Beach and ocean is not exactly going to be a distracting background. I would prefer it at a shorter focal length and smaller aperture.

What do I gain?......beach bokeh!!!
