Which is exactly what I told him.

All those are 1.5X crop factor APS-C cameras.

The crop factor varies slightly 1.6X for Canon, 1.5X for pretty much everyone else.

APS-C sensors have a crop factor that changes the field of view of a lens. So a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera has the same field of view as a 75mm lens on a full frame camera.

Just to be sure you have updated to Firmware 2.0.3? Spot AF Point mode should definitely have been used in this case. Even if you didn't think it helped in the past, it should still be used when...

Since shallow depth of field is used to create an out of focus area, I guess your oof would have a dfferent perspective. Not that perspective of the oof matters much to me.

Buffer size is based on memory size, not processor speed.

DOF equivalency depends on how you compensate for the difference in the field of view, move back twice as far, use the same focal length and the DOF is equivalent to f/4 not f/5.6.

Wasps creep me out due to a childhood incident. But, congratulations on you new camera.
