[QUOTE="Jim Lundberg, post: 1279371, member: 58911"] [b]crop factor[/b] How much greater are the dimensions of a 50D photo than a 40D photo? Ok, stupid question. What I mean is, an object photographed with both the 40D and the 50D from the same distance, then cropped top to bottom and displayed real size--how much greater are the dimensions? The first figure that came to mind was 1/2 again as much surface area, but that doesn't mean the height and width are 1/2 again as great, does it? The math escapes me. Bonus: my brother owns a Rebel XT, which I believe is about 8 megapixels. How does that compare to the 50D. Please feel free to hijack this thread for a discussion of correlating megapixels to lens length is like apples to oranges. Thank you, Jim [/QUOTE]
