Good day everyone,
I was wondering if there is a difference in "BOKEH" between a normal film SLR and a DSLR.
I started photography with my A40 powershot, and as I got more into it, I started to crave for the "Bokeh" I see in professional shots. In the A40, or any digicam for that matter, you just cant get a good "BOKEH". Everything is from the subject to the background is in focus. Not good for subject isolation. I learnt that this is because of the very very short focal length in a digicam. So I guess there is no way , other than PS, which I feel is artificial, in achieving a good BOKEH. As such, I bought a Nikon F80. I like the ability to control the depth of field. But now, considering a switch to DSLR, just to upgrade. Probably a S2 Pro or something. No need for DX flash, contrasty. I like it.
But I was wondering, do DSLRs have a shorter focal length as compared to SLRs ? Will I still be able to control the DOP as well as in an SLR ?
If a DSLR and SLR have similar aperture set, focused on exactly the same thing, ceteris paribus in other words........ , will the BOKEH be similar, as in ... as blur or as clear ? This is very important in my decision. Please contribute if you have anything to share.
