    Digital Focal Length

    I may be still stuck in film camera land, but does anyone know where I could get a chart or table of equivalent digital focal lengths? My camera is a Fujifilm S5000.

    All you need to know is the ratio for your camera. It should be in the Owner's Guide. Once you know what it is, it is constant across the range.

    So, as an example, if the true focal length of 20 mm was equivalent to 50 mm on a full-sized lens, then 40 mm would be equivalent to 100, and 80 to 200, etc, etc.
