Sep 8, 2011 at 6:57 comment added fahad.hasan A full frame sensor 1.6X/1.5X bigger than an APS-C produces 1.6X/1.5X shallower DOF... am I right?

Sep 8, 2011 at 5:36 comment added user2719 @Anisha: the DoF is (more-or-less) a function of the aperture and the focal length of the lens, with a larger aperture and a longer focal length (relative to subject distance) giving a shallower depth of field. Since you need to use a longer lens on a larger sensor to get the same subject framing at the same subject distance, you will get a shallower DoF taking the "same" picture at the same aperture.

Sep 8, 2011 at 3:37 comment added Aquarius_Girl Hold on, You said: Sensor size (Affects image quality, depth-of-field, field-of-view of your lenses) Now, isn't aperture (depth of field) dependent on lens?
