Step up from canon S2...350D vs D40 vs K100D [Archive]
Will this compromise image quality in comparison to my S2?... I have owned the Canon Powershot S2 IS for some time now and plan on stepping up to a dSLR....

Step up from canon S2...350D vs D40 vs K100D
The biggest difference you will see between a DSLR and the S2 IS is the depth of field.... Compact digital cameras like the S2 IS have a big depth of field, cameras like an XTi/400D and D40 have a more shallow depth of field....
