Talk:APS-C

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Slight rewrite

I rewrote some parts of the article. [1] The previous version seemed to confuse APS-C bodies that have a full-size mirror, and APS-C bodies that have a smaller mirror. Certain statements (such as the 1.6 focal-length multiplier) applies to all APS-C bodies, regardless of the size of the mirror, while other statements apply only to bodies that accept the APS-C-specific lenses. --Interiot 00:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I just updated with reference to 30D when I found this comment. The 1.6 crop factor certainly *deos not* apply to all APS-C cameras but only to a rather small subset - the entire Nikon family is 1.5 and even Canon has 1.3 ones.szlevi

Upon further inspection I realized that the original article was full of misinformation, so I decided to rewrite and expand it. szlevi
