What's limiting P&S f/stop?

Re: What's limiting P&S f/stop?
I just stumbled upon this very well-written tutorial at Cambridge in Color. Well worth the read. It has some handy calculators to compare depth of field for different sensor sizes. You could use this to quantify what depth of field you are or aren't missing if your P&S can only go to f/8. I think what you'll find is that… -
Re: What's limiting P&S f/stop?
David_S85 has a good point about diffraction being potentially the limiting factor, but I'm curious why you want smaller aperatures than f/8. Consider the following: 1. The lenses on P&S cameras are very wide angle lenses compared to 35mm camera lenses. With such a wide angle lens, you get much more depth of field than… -

Re: What's limiting P&S f/stop?
I'll also take a stab nik. My pin hole cameras use about the f/350-400 range thus we are looking at about .3mm hole at 100-125mm length (yeah i snap a lot of drill bits at $2 each) Imagine getting a $300 camera to be able to mechanically close to that size with accuracy. This info is all totally irrelevant to your question… -
