Re: Small sensor Powershot for macro photography

It's a matter of the actual focal length and the aperture being used.  Every sensor smaller than FF will have a smaller actual focal length than the equivalent.  Small sensor cameras have much shorter actual focal lengths.  A 28 mm equivalent lens used with a 1/2.33" sensor will have an actual 5 mm focal length and at a given F# will have more depth of field because the actual aperture is much smaller.
