Just curious, do the digital cameras in the 30k to 50k range offer better depth of field than the dvx100's and the XL1's for example, or is most of the benefit in the color saturation and things of that nature.
What I'm actually trying to understand is the lens configuration for the higher tier cameras. Do they contain that which the prosumer cameras don't have to generate excellent depth of field?
The reason I ask is that a friend received some footage shot on digital (no film involved at any point in the process) with excellent dept of field characteristics. All I'm familiar with is some of these prism adapters (P+S) for example that take the image from a 35mm lens on an XL1 of DVX100. I'm told, however, that this is not the configuration that was used for the footage I mentioned.
Any thoughts? Bottom line, I want to understand how to get the best "depth of field" results from my DVX100. I'm not ready to put out a chunck of change for a P+S (yet anyway), but may have to go that direction to get what I'm really looking for.
All comments welcome and encouraged.
Thanks!
