Dslr cf

Are there any DSLR's with a crop of more than 2.0?
i.e. The X1H (Camcorder, not camera.) as I understand has a CF of 7.0!

No DSLR has a crop of more than 2.0 and that'd be the Olympus.

4/3 cameras (Olympus and Panasonic) have crop factors of 2x. All other DSLR's are around 1.5-1.6x

[jrbrown1991]

Not all, of course. The 5D MK2 is full-frame, 1.0 CF..

In any case, I am sad to hear this but I appreciate the answers.

Would either of you happen to know for certain if I am correct that the CAMCORDER is 7.0 CF?

If you're refering to Canon's XLH1.......

"The 3.4 to 20.4mm wide-angle zoom lens provides users with an extensive range of focal lengths from 24.5 to 147mm (in 35mm photographic terms). Designed for Canon's XL lens mount system, it adds even more versatility and artistic range to Canon's XL HD camcorder, the XL H1."

35mm Equivalent/Actual mm = CF
147mm/20.4mm = 7.2

Curious as to why the question?

Sounds about right. If you divide the diagonal of the camcorder sensor by the diagonal of a "full frame" DSLR sensor and get seven, then the answer is yes.

Is that the best that current camcorders can do? I'll be the first to admit I know nothing about the crop factor of camcorders.

Hey Mark, thank you very much!

Why? I want to get into surveillance work. The "longer" the possible zoom, the better. I'd probably get an EOS adapter and put a 400mm on it.
If any gents know me here from a while ago, you might be suprised I'm not doing yet. :lol: Working on it

[raven15]

Were you the one asking about 500mm mirror lenses a year ago?

[jrbrown1991]

It's possible, but I don't think so.
