  2. DOF explained on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    http://www.firingsquad.com/pfucata_digicam_guide_0 4/dofexample.html Depth of field is affected by sensor-to-lens distance and hence DSLRs with a larger sensor have less depth of field. Please do your research before you claim that others are wrong.

  3. You are wrong about DOF on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    http://www.firingsquad.com/pfucata_digicam_guide_0 4/dofexample.html The distance between the sensor and lens on a D-SLR is greater than that on a small-sensor digicam. That affects the depth of field. The problem is that sometimes the slow shutter speed from stopping down is impractical without a tripod.

    Two comments: 1. The eye is a unique system because the brain has so much post-processing behind it. I agree that your eye has incredibly fast auto-focus, however unlike a camera, you brain combines multiple images, and so in day to day life your perception of the world is that "everything" is sharp. A small sensor digicam does a better job replicating this than a larger sensor. 2. http://www.firingsquad.com/pfucata_digicam_guide_0 4/DOFexample.jpg The distance between the sensor and lens on a D-SLR is greater than that on a small-sensor digicam.

  7. Re:Slashdot material? on Athlon 64 Motherboard Triple Threat Round-Up · · Score: 1

    This wasn't considered /. material yet, even though it's the first article to explain that running >1GB on the Athlon64 drops you down to PC1600 bandwidth, and that the increase in latency on the P4 with >1GB of RAM produces slower real-world results than even the A64 at PC1600.

  8. All 3 are really limited to 1 GB on Athlon 64 Motherboard Triple Threat Round-Up · · Score: 1
    See this article.

    When you run 3 512MB dimms, the Athlon64 drops to PC1600 speeds. That said, the P4 drop in performance is even worse. You really need the Opteron /Athlon 64 FX-51 to take advantage of huge amounts of memory.
