There have been a few interesting discussions lately and I'm curious to see if this topic has any insights. Also, I'm not sure I'm using the correct terminology and I hope this is not one of those start-a-war topics but I'm posting anyway! :-) I don't remember this being an issue when I used a film SLR many moons ago BUT it seems to have a noticable impact on my digital images. I'm talking about the discrepancy between the viewfinder framed image and the captured image field-of-view ... on my Digital Rebel I notice I have more picture in the captured image than I do in the view finder. I tried an experiment today using a ruler and 3 different lenses and the measurements indicate a +5% to +8% larger captured image. I've seen several discussions concerning digital darkroom processing but I have also seen arguments for captured scenes that require no processing. In this case if I take the time to setup a scene and capture it, the added "field of view" distracts from what I'm trying to accomplish (I think anyway). So, any comments, pointers, opinions or insights?!?! PS. I'm now getting into the habit of framing my pictures even closer than I normally would BUT is this "problem" common to all dSLRs and to a greater or lesser degree?
