I'm not worried about final image size or anything like that.

How do I figure out what focal length I need to see the same level of magnification as I see through my binos?

What is the formula for converting focal length to magnification?

For standard 35mm.

Example: I have a Canon 10D and a pair of 7x binoculars, What focal

length lense will give me the same magnification as the binos? (Feel

free to disregard the 1.6 crop unless it really changes things)

I'm guessing that my 50mm lens (80mm on my 10D) would be approximate

to 1x magnification meaning that (all math aside and only as an

example) would be 1.6x magnification on my 10D.

I'm guessing that the focal length X = magnification X math involved

is more complex and that a 50mm lens doesn't really equal 1x

magnification.

From Canon's website:

EOS-1v

35mm SLR Camera

World's fastest continuous shooting speed up to 10 fps

With its continuous shooting speed of approximately 8.5fps, the EOS-1D MARK II is the world?s fastest Digital AF-SLR camera (as of January 2004)

I'm curious were you got the 33fps number for film cameras.

Another point I'm curious onwhere did the info come from about Canon's plans to create a single body to replace the 1Ds Mk II & 1D MkII both? I'd like to read more on that.
