Been a while since I looked at the difference between APSC and Full frame. At any rate I remember it was impossible to find mats of the right aspect ratio.

What other benefits are there to Full Frame other than the much larger physical area being captured?

DoF is the biggest thing. Also the 5DII has superb low light capabilities

I was just reading up quickly on the DoF advantage. Is that mainly because the larger physical area captured allows you to get physically closer to your subject and therefore allow you to get a shallower DoF? Or is there another reason at play?

Sweet deal. Thanks for the head up! But I really don't want to spend the money right now. I'll wait till I have a job. Trying to keep my spending to food and the games I just must get. Sadly the games I just must get turn out to be Professor Layton and the Last Specter, Super Mario 3D Land, Skyrim, Zelda Skyward Sword Collectors Edition, and probably one or two others.
