Cameraclicker, I’m going to disagree with you saying that it doesn’t affect DOF. Try punching some numbers into a dof calculator and you’ll see what I mean.
Differences are only due to the sensor density, and you’ll notice they’re still extremely close at the same distance. An 18Mpx 7D has smaller pixels than a 22Mpx 5D mark II. If the 5D2 were the same density but with an APS-C sensor, it would be 14Mpx. Thus, the circles of confusion must be smaller to be as sharp, increasing the DOF slightly.
