Here's something I have wondered about; maybe someone out there can
enlighten me.... On all of the digital cameras (that I know about)
that use 35mm camera bodies, such as the Nikon D1, they use a CCD
significantly smaller than 24mm x 36mm. So while the D1 can use
all/most of the lenses made for the F-series camera, the smaller
image size results in a smaller angle-of-view.
So, why don't they use a 24mm x 36mm CCD so that their lenses work
the way they were designed, angle-of-view-wise? There must be a good
reason, since Nikon, Canon, Fuji and Kodak all use these small CCDs.
TIA... Ben Tyndall
