Hello,

Why is it all digital cameras come with a nice aperture value like

f/2 or f/2.8 at an affordable price? Is there a conversion factor for

aperture value, similar to the focal length multiplier , that the

manufacturers not specifying?

Similarly, the minimum aperture is limited to f/8 in most of the

Digital cameras.

Also in digital, one cannot get the background blur possible with a

similar aperture in a film SLR. In other words the DOF is always high

in digital.

Considering all these, I feel there exists a conversion factor for

the aperture values of digital cameras, similar to the focal length

multiplier.

Thank you for your answers.

I also had to face the problem Dell Phinus mentioned here originaly.

In face, it was just a week old EOS33. I got it repaired from the service center. But the camera has come back from the service center with a new problem of not able to select any of the the focus points manually.

Finally, Canon agreed to exchange the camera for a new one. Now waiting for the new one.

I guess this problem is particular with the new EOS30/33's...none of my friends had such a problem with their 1~2 year old EOS30/33.
